Jack McKalling Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 You're right, it doesn't work !I have no clue why it doesn't, only that select is different handled than any other element, notice the unload of a document that has one, it becomes white! (In IE it doest anyway)That very same cause may cause the tooltip thing too. :)And not to mention the select has almost no styling abilities at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack McKalling Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 (edited) But I still like to know whats wrong with the element, why doesn't the title work? Is it really because it is different handled by the browser? Or is it something else.. :)I only know it should be IE only, inwhich that it wouldn't work because the tutorial says "title" is allowed for the select element as a standard attribute. So if it doesn't work in IE it should in other browsers Edited June 5, 2006 by Dan The Prof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
