Mouseover dropdown values

Hi
I have a situaion like this:
got a table with code and description.
The description is lenghty..
I have given a form for the user to select the code.
Since displaying the code is obvious for easy reference,
i put the codes in a dropdown and displayed a textarea beside this.
I used onchange event to display the selected code's description in the textarea. Fine ...and even the user can use the up/down arrow key to look for diff codes and thereby see the description...fine..
Now my boss wants to do like this:
when the user clicks the dropdown, it willpull down showing the codes is it not? so when the user move the mouse over the different codes (values in the dropdown), then automatically corresponding description has to be shown in the textarea.
I am not sure whether it can be done or not... becos there is no event to do that as far as i know??? any idea?
