How to display the "Title" of a "Drop-down menu" on mouseover

G

Guest

When using "Checkboxes" you can define their "Title" and when you do a
"mouseover", it displays the title info in a hint box

When using a "Drop-Down menu" you can also define their "Title" however it
doesn't display the hint box when you do a "mouseover" on it

Is there a way to replicate the hint box effect on a "Drop-Down menu" ?

Thanks

You have to do it in the code by manually adding a title attribute.

Post a link to your page and I'll tell you how to do it.

So, you're wanting to add a hint to this?

<B>Armure</B> <SELECT id=Armure size=1
name=Armure> <OPTION value=0
selected>Aucune(0)<OPTION
value=0.1>Torse de cuir souple ou gambison
matelassé(0)....

I don't think that browsers will show a title attribute over a <select> or
an <option> tag.....

Title attribute should be supported by all (current) browsers for all html elements but BASE, BASEFONT, HEAD, HTML, META, PARAM,
SCRIPT, TITLE

It works in Firefox, Mozilla 1.4 and NS6.2. In the NS the title for the
option shows up displaced quite a ways from the <select> element.

<form method=post action="">
<select name="" title="select">
<option title="opt">blah</option>
</select>
</form>
