ToolTip in ASP.Net For Dropdown Control

Hi All,

I need to create a ToolTip for a DropDown Control in ASP.Net.  I know there's a way to do this.  The DropDown control in ASP.Net does not have a ToolTip property, so I need to create one.  I don't want to insert JavaScript.  I'd prefer to do this in VB.Net code for the ASP.Net page.

I'm aware that the ToolTip control is a part of System.ComponentModel.Component on the VB Windows side, but I can't figure out how to add the ToolTip property to the DropDown control for an ASP.Net DropDown control.

Does anyone know how to do this for an ASP.Net DropDown control?

Thanks

Thanks, vinayakrishna.

I'm home from work today, and I will try this tomorrow.

I want to pass in the string for the ToolTip.  The user will make a selection from the DropDown control.  I am parsing text from the SelectedItem.Text of their selection and using that to formulate the ToolTip.  How would I pass that into your <SCRIPT> function?

If this works I will up the points.  Thanks again for your help.
