bananababe Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 you can't use alt with <option>. even if it worked, you wouldn't get a mouseover because that's not how it works with the <img> tag, unless your browser preferences were set up to show the alts. You are trying to have rollover effects on a dropdown list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axeia Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If you're doing this on images for that reason.. stop doing that. Most browser display the title attribute as a tooltip, so <option title="Hello There Sir">Hello</option> (And that's what you should use on images as well if the tooltip is the only purpose) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
