This one's easy. I think you're talking about a structure like this.
<select multiple="multiple">
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
<option value="3">Option 3</option>
</select>

To get a tooltip, just add a title attribute to each <option>
element. IIRC, it doesn't work in IE, but who cares. It works in
standards compliant browsers (well, I know it works in, at least,
Mozilla). There is no way, unless someone has a javascript method, to
do it in IE.

eg.
<option value="1" title="Title Text...">Option 1</option>

If you also add a title attribute to the <select> element, it will be
shown for options that don't have a title attribute. It will not show
both the select title and the option title at the same time.

You could try the CSS 'overflow: scroll;' property, but no
guarentees. I don't have time to test it, you can do that.
