ToolTip - title not working in IE 6

I am using a dropdown that is 100px wide. But the content in this dropdown is more than that - it is not visible to the user, so I go to the title (ToolTip in html). Its not working in IE 6.

What is the alternative method for this event. mouseover doesn't work either. Please help and clarify the error.

<select>
    <option>-</option>
    <option  title="Alpha">a</option>
    <option  title="Beta">b</option>
    <option  title="Complex">c</option>
    <option  title="Durpal">d</option>
</select>

I think the attribute IE was using for this purpouse was "alt" instead of "title".

It sounds like you are saying there are options within your selection that have text that overflows the edge of the selection. If so, then there is really no easy way to fix it (other than increasing the size of the dropdown). You might want to look into a third party component that will emulate the dropdown. Using one of these, the area that falls is not anchored to the select, so the area can be larger.

See this for an example
