Title Body

Is there a way to open a select box using Javascript (and jQuery)? <select style="width:150px;"> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc arcu nunc, rhoncus ac dignissim at, rhoncus ac tellus.</option> <option value="3">3</option> </select> I have to open my select, cause of IE bug. All versions of IE (6,7,8) cut my options. As far as I know, there is no CSS bugfix for this. At the moment I try to do the following: var original_width = 0; var selected_val = false; if (jQuery.browser.msie) { $('select').click(function(){ if (selected_val == false){ if(original_width == 0) original_width = $(this).width(); $(this).css({ 'position' : 'absolute', 'width' : 'auto' }); }else{ $(this).css({ 'position' : 'relative', 'width' : original_width }); selected_val = false; } }); $('select').blur(function(){ $(this).css({ 'position' : 'relative', 'width' : original_width }); }); $('select').blur(function(){ $(this).css({ 'position' : 'relative', 'width' : original_width }); }); $('select').change(function(){ $(this).css({ 'position' : 'relative', 'width' : original_width }); }); $('select option').click(function(){ $(this).css({ 'position' : 'relative', 'width' : original_width }); selected_val = true; }); } But clicking on my select the first time will change the width of the select but I have to click again to open it.
