select option mouseover event

Apologies if this is well-known information, or if this is not the right forum for this question. I have been looking all over and haven't found any mention of this behavior.

I am trying to get the mouseover event from a select list option element. I have tried adding the event handler in the html as
onmouseover="handleMouseOver()"

and I have tried setting the handler in a script called at load time trying both
option.onmouseover=handleMouseOver;
and
option.addEventListener('mouseover',handleMouseOver,[true|false]);


All of the above work in Firefox. None work in Safari or Camino. Either in Safari 2.0 or in Safari 3.0 beta. I haven't tried IE.

I can get 1 mouseover event if I add the event handler to the select element, but I can't seem to get any events out of the options.

Is this a bug, or does Safari and/or WebKit simply not process events at the option level? And if the latter, does anyone have any suggestions how I might get around this limitation?

Thanks so much,
Linus
