bug 119 - no title for options or select in IE6

Issue: #119
Affects: IE6
Fixed In: IE7

Note: Updated synopsis to include the select element, not just the options.

Have you ever wanted to provide more descriptive text in the form of a tooltip in your Web applications? Of course you have. It may have slipped your notice though, that this doesn't work on select list options (or even the select list itself) in IE6 (fixed in IE7).

Example:

<select size="3">
  <option value="1" title="Web Bug Track">WBT</option>
  <option value="2" title="Bugzilla Bug Tracking">Bugzilla</option>
  <option value="3" title="Tracker Bug Track">Tracker</option>
</select>

WBT
Bugzilla
Tracker

Known Workarounds: None.
