thanks...

Hi,

it is not due to DropDownList as a ASP.NET Control, but that it renders a
<SELECT> HTML Element which does not support this feature as such.

Try it with Firefox or any ohter modern bowser and you will see the
tooltip on dropdown.

It's just MSIE that doesn't display them. Wonder whether IE7 will
improve on that?

Yes, thanks for clarification. I meant also IE (point was that problems's
not in DropDownList purely, though it ignores the Tooltip property as well,
but I'd remember one can force it via Attributes collection)
