New option("xxx", "xxx")

Does anyone know how to set the title attribute of an option box using the 'new Option("xxx", "xxx");' javascript code?

Cheers,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Try...

Code:

var o = new Option("option text", "option value");
o.title = "my title";

HTH,

Chris

Chris is right but some browsers, IE notably, don't support the title attribute on options. Last time I needed this in an IE only environment I used window.createPopup to show a small window, fired by the onmouseover of the select element. This might not work if the user has popups disabled though.

Hmm, this is the same option I decided on but couldn't seem to get it working, but then again I am using I.E.

Thanks for the help.
