Inspired by the following discussion on Twitter Bootstrap Popovers and Tooltips on Listbox Option Elements showing in the wrong place and following on, I wanted to use the technique showed in the answer and use it on a simple dropdown list ie. a select element with no size attribute or size="1".

While it continues to work on latest to date version of Firefox (V18), it doesn't anymore on Webkit based browsers (Chrome V24 nor Safari V6) on MacOS X as well as Windows 7.

Is there any way to make it work in Chrome as well as Safari?

Forked demo code is as http://jsfiddle.net/ryZ9q/

  • I dont think it is possible. Have really tried, the dropdown of a `` with some `
    • ..
    `. However, have made an addendum to the answer you are refering to above, so that it least works on the major browsers and on windows.     – davidkonrad Jun 04 '14 at 15:51
