Hi,

I am looking to get a Drop Down box to drop down when it recevies foucs, through Javascript. Can anyone help?

Raj.
 
Hi Raj,

It's probably not exactly what you want, but try this (I tried something with the click() method, but that doesn't seem to work.):

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload=&quot;openSB('sb1')&quot;>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>

function openSB(sName)
{
var j = document.body.all[sName].length

document.body.all[sName].size = j
document.body.all[sName][0].selected = true
document.body.all[sName].focus()

}
</script>

<select name=&quot;sb1&quot;>
<option>option 1
<option>option 2
<option>option 3
<option>option 4
<option>option 5
<option>option 6
<option>option 7
<option>option 8
<option>option 9
</select>
<br>

</BODY>
</HTML>

hope this helps,

Hi Boomerrang,

Yes I had the same problem with the click event. It does not seem to drop the DropDown selection bit.

I like your idea, however, I am not looking to make it into a listbox just keep a DropDown.

I wonder if there is anyway of getting rid of the scroll bar on the right of the listbox and hey presto just what I am looking for.

Raj
