I have a multi select drop down box which for style reasons I have limited to 30 characters. However, some of the text which appears in there is far greater that this. Is there anyway that I can get the full description to appear when I hover over the entry. .. I have tried using the <span title='&quot;&columnName&&quot;'>&quot;&columnName&&quot;</span> but this does not appear to work within a drop down box.

Any ideas would be gratefully recieved....

Thanks.
 
i dont think that can be done...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
 
Not sure if this works, but give this a try:
Code:
<select>
    <option value=&quot;blabla&quot; title=&quot;This is the full text for an incredible long option.&quot;>This is the full text for an incredible long option.</option>
</select>

Take Care,
Mike
