ToolTip on DropDown List options

CG
Hi,

I have a drop down list on an asp page.

Can I have tooltips for each item so when the user scrolls
odwn through the drop down I display a tooltip (as some
options are long and I do not want to incrase the width of
my drop down).

Thanks,
CG

This is not a server-side code question so it is off-topic for this
newsgroup. In the future, please post your questions to the appropriate
groups. Client-side questions should be asked on a dhtml group.

As you've probably discovered, OPTION elements do not support the title
property, so you will need to roll your own, perhaps using the onmouseover
and onmouseout events and a div element. For details, follow up in a dhtml
newsgroup.

I've gotten everything up and running except for this -- I'd like to be able to have people have a dropdown list of cities in the US to use (or wherever) and not have to input them manually into a text field. When you do then there are issues of misspellings, etc. Now I have a list of cities from each state that is a sample that works in an html page. Problem is that it takes up 2 MB! Way too much to load on a single page and I was...

Here is a SIMPLE problem that I'm trying to solve. It works in Netscape 6.2, but IE6 gives ""No such interface supported." Below are page1.htm and page2.htm . In page1.htm, there are two dropdown lists. If you change the selection of the left one (e.g. choose parentoption2), it should open up page2.htm in a popup window.

We have a dropdown combobox, where some of the text is wider than the textarea. I cannot set the width of the SELECT any higher due to design restrictions on the company website. When clicking the dropdown box, I want the textarea (which unfolds beneath the dropdown) to expand to the widest element of the options. I can see that Netscape does this automatically, but how would you do it in IE?

Hello, I have a dropdown list on a user control and the AutoPostBack property is set to True. I want to use the SelectedIndexChanged event to populate some text boxes based on what the user chose in the dropdown list. However, the SelectedIndexChanged event doesn't fire. In the immediate window it appears that the index is not changing when I select a different option in the list.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
