How do I automatically drop down a list?

[LonnieJohnson]

I an asp.net 2.0 application that has a text box and a drop down on a page. When I enter into the text box, I want the drop down to automatically show the list or "drop down".

1) I don't see an ASP.net On Enter or Got Focus event for my text box.

2) I don't see an ASP.net .Dropdown method on my dropdown box.

Can I accomplish this via js?

Besides coding your own DHTML dropdown, there's a small workaround I suppose. When you focus in the textbox you can set the multiple value of the <select> to true:

document.getElementById("theSelectBoxId")[!].multiple[/!] = true;

However, I'm not sure how you put it back to normal after changing that setting, cause I'm pretty sure you can't just set it to false to change it back, but I'll admit I didn't try it.
