DropDownList tooltip in Chrome and Safari

Question

To add a tooltip to my DropDownList items I have

      DropDownList1.Items[i].Attributes.Add("title", tooltip);

Problem is this doesn't work in Chrome and Safari. Any other way to add a tooltip, or any way to fix this in Chrome and Safari?

Answer 1

There are plenty of tooltip components, also jQuery has a number of plug-ins that can offer this kind of functionality. I know what you are suffering as the tooltips appear as expected in IE but in Chrome/Safari they tend to be blank boxes. It'll be interesting to see if anyone else has a fix for that specifically.

Answer 2

You could just use the ToolTip property of the dropdown list: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.dropdownlist.tooltip.aspx
