[Javascript] mouseover select option

[Roland Neilands]

Allard,

Thanks for the reply.

How should the function get the option description? (not just the selected option but the moused over option in the dropdown, although either would do really). I've added title attributes to the options, but don't know how to reference the option itself.

Regards,
Roland
