<!-- Begin

    document.all.tooltip2.innerHTML=text
    document.all.tooltip2.style.pixelLeft=event.clientX+document.body.scrollLeft+10
    document.all.tooltip2.style.pixelTop=event.clientY+document.body.scrollTop+10
    document.all.tooltip2.style.visibility="visible"
}
  else if (document.layers){
    document.tooltip2.document.nstip.document.write('<b>'+text+'</b>')
    document.tooltip2.document.nstip.document.close()
    document.tooltip2.document.nstip.left=0
    currentscroll=setInterval("scrolltip()",100)
    document.tooltip2.left=e.pageX+10
    document.tooltip2.top=e.pageY+10
    document.tooltip2.visibility="show"
}
}
function hidetip2(){
  if (document.all)
    document.all.tooltip2.style.visibility="hidden"

Which sort of suggests that doing a

function test(t1) {
document.getElementById('t').title=t1.options[t1.selectedIndex].text;
}


<input type=button id="t"
name="t" value="t">
<select name="t1" id="t1" size=2 onclick="test(this);">

is a smarter solution

He does however have the same problem if one reads the FAQ


"Why do form elements show up on top of the popups? They sort of bleed.

This is a browser issue that we can't do much about :(. The only work around would be to place the form elements themselves in layers and hide while showing the popups"
