I tried using mrperfect's answer and i had a couple glitches. With a couple small changes, I was able to get it to work for me. I just changed it so that it would only do it once. Once you exit dropdown, it would go back to the regular method of dropdowns.

function down() {
    var pos = $(this).offset(); // remember position
    $(this).css("position", "absolute");
    $(this).offset(pos);   // reset position
    $(this).attr("size", "15"); // open dropdown
    $(this).unbind("focus", down);
}
function up() {
    $(this).css("position", "static");
    $(this).attr("size", "1");  // close dropdown
    $(this).unbind("change", up);
}
function openDropdown(elementId) {
    $('#' + elementId).focus(down).blur(up).focus();
}
