Certainly with a List you get more control over its behaviour as all the ListItems are true Objects, unlike the elements in a Table, which is designed to show large datasets very efficiently. With ListItems you should be able to add a ToolTip to it which can appear after an interval of hovering. If you need to record information on the server side (i.e. where the web server is running), then you might be best adding a listener to the mouseover event, starting a timer (which is cancelled by mouseout) and making an RPC call to the server when the timer fires. You can even dynamically return the text that should appear in the ToolTip in this request. Hope that helps...
