There is no default method to open a select element in JavaScript. But There is a different way to accomplish this task :

$('#myButton').click(function(){ $('#mySelect').show(); $('#mySelect')[0].size=2;/* Choose a size that's perfect */ }); /* Hide Select Menu when user clicks an option */ $('#mySelect').live("click",function(){ $('#mySelect').hide(); });
