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

Why can't you add a title on the target element? title looks like the same as tool tip. And title works on disabled elements.

when you set the value of your select, also set title:

element.value=value;
element.title = element.options[element.selectedIndex].text;
