Show dropdown in jQuery?

Question

Possible duplicate:
How can you programmatically report that you have selected HTML SELECT (for example, because of a mouse)?

Is it possible to set the select dropdown visible with jQuery?

I tried to use $('#dropdown').click();, but it has no effect.

Answer 1

It's impossible. You can implement your own select-box, but this is bad for usability.

another approach is to programmatically change the size attribute in the select box, but this is not quite what you wanted.

I suggest thinking about why you need it, and if there is a better software template?

Answer 2

:

HTML

<button id='btn'>Click Me</button>
<select id='test'>
    <option>Blah 1</option>
    <option>Blah 2</option>
    <option>Blah 3</option>
    <option>Blah 4</option>
</select>

JavaScript

$('#btn').click(function(){
    $('#test').attr('size', 5);
});

$('#test').change(function() {
   $(this).attr('size', 1); 
});
