Hi Eric,

I've multiple select box with specific predefined width. If text within an option is longer than width , can we show something like toolTip on Mouseover of that option. I want to show the tooltip on Mouse Over that is before selecting the option. And here I want to implement my own tooltip functionallity. I dont want default windows title attribute to show tooltip.

Thanks in advance,
Praasad.

Windows? What does Windows have to do with this?

In any case, if you don't want to use the title attribute mechanism, you'll need to roll your own. The net is full of examples.

Man I am off today, I am missing things people are saying. There is another post on this exact same topic and the answer is you can not add mouseovers to the option elements in a cross browser manner so you would have to write your own select element out of divs.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for the reply.
I tried by adding attachEvent trick but it could not help me out. Please let me know how to create our own select elements using div? any example?

Thanks in advance,
Prasad.

So apparently you do not want reponses from anyone other than Eric.
