Thank you, but i have to have tooltips for each item in a listbox in IE 6...

Title tag doesn't work in IE 6 but works in IE7 n firefox2, same in the case of onmouseover event.

I think this is an OS issue. IE6 had problems with DHTML tooltips disappearing underneath select objects. Some managed a fix for that using an iframe shimming technique. I'm afraid you'll have to live with it for a buggy browser unless someone knows of a fix.

* ddlEventType is dropdown name or list box Name
var ddlLength = document.frmCADiary.ddlEventType.options.length;
for (var ddlCount = 0 ; ddlCount < ddlLength ; ddlCount++)
{
document.frmCADiary.ddlEventType.options[ddlCount].setAttribute
("title",document.frmCADiary.ddlEventType.optio ns[ddlCount].text)
}
