title: Fire onmouseover event when element is disabled
body: <p>I have some controls that I need to disable when users don't have edit privileges, but are sometimes not wide enough to show the entire text of the selected option element.  In which case I've added a tool tip with ASP.NET and the following code</p>
  <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>ddl.Attributes.Add(&quot;onmouseover&quot;, &quot;this.title=this.options[this.selectedIndex].title&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>This works when the control is enabled, but doesn't work when it is disabled.</p>
  <p>The following alert will not fire when a mouse is over the select element:</p>
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;select disabled=&quot;disabled&quot; onmouseover=&quot;alert('hi');&quot;&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;Disabled&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>

  <p><strong>Q</strong>: <em>Can I fire the <code>onmouseover</code> event for controls that are <code>disabled</code>?</em></p>
