How to create tooltip for listbox?

<select title="Tool tip"...


works only in IE

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Hey, no, actually I need a tooltips not for whole listbox, for its items, for example I click on first item and see its name in tooltip in full form not cuted by listbox width property. That's what I mean.
Thank anyway.

well, u need to use layers in that case, the coding might be really huge, i can just give u an idea:
<div style="position:absolute;left10px;top:15px;visibility:hidden" id='DivTg'></div>
<select ..... onclick="ShowToolTip(this.value)">



<script>
function ShowToolTip(TheValue)
{
document.getElementById('DivTg').innerText=TheValue
document.getElementById('DivTg').style.visibility="visible"

}
</script>

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Thanks for this idea, hope I'll be able to realize it in my code, thank you!

Try searching for "ToolTip select lists dyn-web" on Google. I haven't look at any of the code but they appear to have looked into your problem.

Hey guys!
Look how have I made it:
function ToolTips(name){
var oObj;
oObj = new ActiveXObject("Internet.HHCtrl");
lb = document.getElementById(name);
ind = lb.selectedIndex;
ss = lb.options[ind];
if (ss.text.length>15)
{
if(ind >= 0){
oP = lb.options[ind];
oObj.TextPopup(oP.text,"Times New Roman,8",5,3,-1,0);
}
}
}
and that is working

Thank you all!
Best regards

Do you have a simple example of how you've used this in a form? Thanks.

yes sure:
<script....
function ToolTips(name){
var oObj;
oObj = new ActiveXObject("Internet.HHCtrl");
lb = document.getElementById(name);
ind = lb.selectedIndex;
ss = lb.options[ind];
if (ss.text.length>15)
{
if(ind >= 0){
oP = lb.options[ind];
oObj.TextPopup(oP.text,"Times New Roman,8",5,3,-1,0);
}
}
}
</script>

<form id=Form1>
<select id="mySelect" onClick="ToolTips(mySelect)">
<option>...</option>
...
...
</form>

so now it will show tooltip for options with length more then 15 symbols. Works in Windows only
