You can't....

Firefox supports onMouseOver events for select options. But since IE does not, it probably makes no sense to try and use it.

This example works in Firefox:

<select multiple name = "sel2" >
  <option value="" onMouseOverrrr="alert('hello')">one</option>
  <option value="">two</option>
  <option value="">three</option>
  <option value="">four</option>
</select>

maybe you should describe what you are trying to do and someone might have a work-around?

Hence why I said you can't! I was too lazy to say that...lol

In other words, you can only do it in specification-complian browsers; s concept seemingly foreign in the Pacific northwest.

Does IE7 fare any better than IE6 at adhereing to the HTML 4 Specification?
