How to call a Class's event from a separate button?

[jsteph]

Hi all,
I've implemented a dropdown similar to the google-suggest, using code found on one of the javascript forums. It works fine, but I want to add one button to force the suggest dropdown to drop down on the click of this button.

I know the functions that handle the suggest functionality are private-scoped and what I'm looking for is a way to expose one of them so my external button can call the particular function that forces the dropdown to show. I know I can do this from within the actual dropdown--and I currently do this--but I just want to know if it's possible to also do it from an external button that is physically a different control than the auto-suggest control.
Thanks
--Jim

It will always be possible to do this - even if it means a re-write.

However, without any knowledge whatsoever about your code, no help can be given.
