It seems, at least as far as my tests show, that Safari does not fire onmouseover for select options.
with the code below, I can get all the messages in Firefox, but none in Safari.
If I attach a handler for the onmouseover to the select element (the part currently commented out) I can get the first mouseover of the select element, but not any additional ones. Again, in Firefox, I get all the messages, although they are handled by the selectorMouse function.
Is this familiar to anyone, and are there any work-arounds?
thanks in advance,

I don't think this works in IE either. Either create your own DHTML select object (simply not worth the effort) or just get the selected element and forget the option element mouse-over.
yes, I had managed to fool myself regarding IE. I ended up using a CSS-based drop-down menu approach, as I needed to have the hover over the sub-items notice.
thanks for the reply.

Since you needed it, that's the most reliable, cross-browser solution. Glad you got a working solution.

My simple popup menu code works in IE (Windows and Mac) but not in Safari.
I use a onmouseover ShowMenu function and a onmouseout HideMenu function.
Because Safari, unlike IE, recognises (correctly) text nodes within the
element nodes, the functions run twice as often. If the onmouseover is to or
the onmouseout is to a text node then the functions return false and do
nothing.
But because so many functions are being triggered, if the...

Hi there,
I've created the following demo to illustrate a problem I've been
