Tool Tip for DropDown list

[Naveen]

Hi,

I have a dropwnlist of fixed width. The item names in the dropdown list are
quite big. The Tooltip property for a dropdownlist control doesn’t work!.
So using DHTML, I refreshed the contents of a DIV on the mouseover event of
the dropdownlist control.
This works fine.
Now, the problem is the tooltip is required on the expanded list too.

How can we capture these events?

Else:
Is it possible to adjust the width of the expanded list dynamically to
accommodate the largest item text?

Hi Naveen,

I think it is impossible to adjust the expanded list's width or add a
tooltip to it. I suggest you may consider HTML DropDown Control instead. It
can adjust its width based on the longest item. For example:

<SELECT runat="server" id="mylist">
</SELECT>

Does this help?
