Force dropdown select to open or stay open

[Trusts]

Hi,

I have a client with a crazy request.

Is there a way to force open a dropdown? This would/should occur from an event, most suitability the onclick event of the dropdown itself.

For example, a select has three items. A person clicks on the first. This onclick event spawns some process, I assume some server interaction (I don't have all the facts), but then the dropdown should stay open so another item can be clicked.

I don't recall that there is any method or property to have a dropdown open up without a human clicking on it.

In the intermin the items in the list might changed based on what occurs on the server.

Well, I wish I had all the details but I think I have enough to consider the issue

Try this

<select [b]style="height: 150px"[/b]>
  <option>option 1</option>
  <option>option 2</option>
</select>

Set its "size" attribute to be however many options you wish to see at any one time.

Hope this helps,
