alternative for tool tip and horizontal scroll for javascript drop down list

Hi,
As we know IE SELECTdrop down list has limitations on tool tip on individual option items and also horizontal scroll bar.
Can any one please tell any other alternative to show the tool tip using javascript or has any one implemented drop down list using div which has all the functionalites of drop down list.

Thanks,
Nags

Can't personally see why you would want tooltips on select options but, if you must, the only way would be with CSS. Put a div inside each option (this might fail validation, mind you), and use some CSS like this:

option { position: relative; }
option div { display: none; position: absolute; left: 100px; width: 150px; height: 35px; }
option:hover div { display: block; }
