I am searching for an example of a tooltip which I can use for my ASP.NET database driven listbox and or dropdown box.
Is there anybody who has one?!
 
well you've given zero code. i can only assume "listbox" is a select type input, because i am not a clairvoyant.

try this:

Code:
<select ... title="Here Is The Tool Tip">

I know the site but I didn't find any script there that can help me.
They have scripts with which I am able to create a tooltip of for the selected data in a listbox or dropdown but not from the not selected data.
What I want is with the mouse go over the data which is in the listbox and show the tooltip without having to select the data in the listbox.
Is there anybody who knows how to do this?
 
Try the suggestion that cLFlaVA gave, but put the title attribute on the option elements instead:

Code:
<option value="1" title="First option">Item 1</option>
<option value="2" title="Second option">Item 2</option>

Hello BillyRayPreachersSon,

I did try the following code:

<select>
<option value="1" title="First option">Item 1</option>
<option value="2" title="Second option">Item 2</option>
</select>

This does not work in IE 6. Maybe in Firefox, I don't know.
Any other suggestions?
