Fire onmouseover event when element is disabled

Question

I have some controls that I need to disable when users don\'t have edit priveleges, but are sometimes not wide enough to show the entire text of the selected option element.

Answer 1

Disabled elements do not fire events, e.g. users cannot hover or click them to trigger a popover (or tooltip). You can however wrap the disabled element with a DIV and listen to the event fired on that element instead.
