I am working a design project that is largely form driven. One of the problems
we are having is end-user education. A solution that we have come up with is to
have a narrative pop-up when a user drags the mouse over the field. So far,
this works great in the input text style boxes. I created an element
onmouseover="title" title="some descriptive text" The problem I am having is I
can not get anything to work on the pull down menus. If I move my mouse over
those, the title element does not trigger the same type of pop up that happens
for the text input box.

Is this a browser issue? Should I think of a different way of delivery the
help information, like creating a ? icon next to each field and trigger a
baloon narrative to pop up on each mouseover?

Any input would be appreciated.
