ToolTip - Title not working in IE 6

Question

Hi Friends,

I am using a dropdown, which having the width of 100px. But the content with in that dropdown is more than that - its not visible to the user, so i go for title (ToolTip in html). Its not working in IE 6..

What is the alternative method for this.. mouseover event is also not working in . Please help and clarify the bug

<select>
 <option>-</option>
 <option  title="Alpha">a</option>
 <option  title="Beta">b</option>
 <option  title="Complex">c</option>
 <option  title="Durpal">d</option>
</select>

Answer 1

I think the attribute that IE used for that purpouse was "alt" instead of "title".

Answer 2

It sounds like what you are saying is there are options within your select which have a text that overflow past the edge of the select. If this is the case there isn't really an easy way to fix it (other than increasing the size of the drop down list). You may want to look into a third party component which will emulate a drop down list. Using one of these, the area which drops down isn't tied to the select element, so that area can be larger.

See this for an example

Query_ComboBox.js usa lo mismo, por que no funciona?

var optionElement = document.createElement("option"); optionElement.value = option.value; optionElement.text = option.text; // Store the raw text data. Option.text removes all HTML content optionElement.dataText = option.text; if (option.title) { optionElement.title = option.title; } originalOptions[optionTotal + optionIndex] = optionElement; } _originalElementJQuery.combobox.update();

optionElement.title ="No se puede";
