Open Select using Javascript/jQuery?

Answer 1

Okay, I found another way fixing this problem. Here is the fix:

Please give me feedback! I'm kind of proud on myself ;)

$(document).ready(function() {
    if (jQuery.browser.msie) {
            select_init();
    }
});


function select_init () {
    var selects = $('select');
    for (var i = 0; i < selects.length; i++) {
        _resizeselect.init(selects[i]);
    }
}


var _resizeselect = {
    obj : new Array(),
    init : function (el) {
        this.obj[el] = new resizeselect (el);
    }
}

function resizeselect (el) {

    this.el = el;
    this.p = el.parentNode;
    this.ht = el.parentNode.offsetHeight;
    var obj = this;
    this.set = false;

    el.onmousedown = function () {
        obj.set_select("mousedown");
    }
    el.onblur = function () {
        obj.reset_select("blur");
    }
    el.onchange = function () {
        obj.reset_select("change");
    }

}

resizeselect.prototype.set_select = function (str) {

    if (this.set) {
        this.set = false;
        return;
    }

    this.el.style.width = "auto";
    this.el.style.position = "absolute";
    this.p.style.height = this.ht + "px";
    this.p.style.zIndex = 100;
    this.set = true;
    this.el.focus();
}

resizeselect.prototype.reset_select = function (str) {
    this.el.style.width = "";
    this.el.style.position = "";
    this.p.style.height = "";
    this.p.style.zIndex = 1;
    this.set = false;
    window.focus();
}
