mouseout/mouseover effect on a drop down menu: no succe... - 5/15/2008 4:20:14   
May use tooltip at:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/imagetooltip.htm
for a mouseout/mouseover effect on a drop down menu ? I try but i can only mouseover a drop down for other effects eg change value of a html form text box [http://www.polis-realestate.eu/test/test.htm]?

I try unsuccessfully the two codes below ... tooltip code follows ?
http://www.polis-realestate.eu/test/test3nt.htm
http://www.polis-realestate.eu/test/test2.htm
[CODE] <a href="#" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,0)" onmouseout="hideTip()"><select name="select4">
<option value="ITEM1" selected="selected">ITEM1</option>
<option value="ITEM2">ITEM2</option>
</select></a>[/CODE]

[CODE]<select name="select4" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,0)" onmouseout="hideTip()">
<option value="ITEM1" selected="selected">ITEM1</option>
<option value="ITEM2">ITEM2</option>
</select>[/CODE]
tooltip:

[CODE]<!-- tooltip start -->
<script type="text/javascript">

Short answer to a very long question is No, you can't.

There is in fact very little you can do with Option boxes other than change the colours and borders and even then, some browsers will ignore those.

Yep.

It's like that for a reason - forms should be in the expected format so that people don't get confused.
