How can I sink mouse events for options in a list box?  I know the
browser generates the mouse events on option elements because I've
tried it manually, but I can't get it to work within gwt.  Ultimately
I'm trying to generate tooltips for each item in a listbox.

Here's the code that doesn't work:

private class TopicsListBox extends ListBox implements EventListener {
...
protected void addTopic(TopicLink topic) {
    addItem(topic.getName());
    int lastIndex = getItemCount() - 1;
    OptionElement option = getOptionElement(lastIndex);
    com.google.gwt.user.client.Element castOption =
(com.google.gwt.user.client.Element) option.cast();
    DOM.setEventListener(castOption, this);
    DOM.sinkEvents(castOption, Event.MOUSEEVENTS);
}

public void onBrowserEvent(Event event) {
    Element optionElement = event.getTarget();
    switch (event.getTypeInt()) {
    case Event.ONMOUSEOVER:
        showTooltip(optionElement);
        break;
    case Event.ONMOUSEOUT:
        cancelTooltip(optionElement);
        break;
    }
}

Can anyone give me some tips?

Thanks,
Peter
