Does it bother you that the select is multiple?
yes.I solved by removing the multiple attribute of select element..bu the next problem with that code is it shows select size=5..so as a result it displays each option items..i got atleast 20-30 option items.So i want a select of size=1..When i make that change tooltips dont appear:(...
Wait a minute. Do you use IE6? Because title attribute works OK since IE7... If so, forget about that. IE6 is the worst browser ever. And its share market drops every day. Even Microsoft makes huge efforts to get IE6 out of this world. You should not code for IE6 anymore.
yes I use IE6..i mean to say in my company they use IE6..SO cant help it..can u suggest what need to be done to implement tooltips for option items?
Convince the company to upgrade to at LEAST Internet Explorer 7. To stay with IE6 is counter-productive.
^_^
yes that also i shall do but in between isnt there any other solution to this?
Not for IE6. Use the solution, find a computer with IE7 or greater, test it; tweak it if necessary, but test on IE7+ until it works as desired, and don't even give IE6 or earlier a second thought. Consider them non-existant.

No, as far as I know.Quote:

You can decide how many choices to initially display with the CSS setting of the <div> tag. Also allows the graphic that you cannot put into the drop down selection options. Might be a work-around until your company arrives in the 21st century.Quote:
