Detect Click on a <SELECT> in NN4

[Guest_imported]

How do I detect a mouse click on a <SELECT> box in Netscape 4.x? I have tried to capture it in many places and it does not work. I know that the SELECT obj does not support the Click event (only onBlur, onFocus, and onChange). There is no item to change so I can't fire an event with that. I just want to fire a function when a user clicks on the box or the dropdown arrow on the right.

Why not use the onFocus event?

When you use the onfocus event it will fire everytime you move the mouse over the box. I only want it when you hit the mouse button. I tried trapping the mousedown event also, but again it does not register as a mousedown when the mouse is over the select box.

What about putting a <a href=&quot;#&quot;...></a> tag around it?

Tried it doesn't work. I am at my wits end trying to figure it out though that is why I came here to post a question.

Try the onMouseup event.
