I mean, I do not want to choose an option. I want an event which fires when I just move the mouse out of the opened listbox area. I understand that if I choose an option, an event will fire. But, in my case, I was looking for an event which fires when I move the mouse out from the opened listbox area. With IE 5.5, this seems to only take effect when I move the mouse out of the select not out of the option.
