Question

Can anyone explain to me how to trigger the “open” event on a select box ?

I’ve seen many sites hide select boxes and trigger it to open when clicking a div. Unify.js does this. I’ve gone through every line of code in Unify and I can’t find out how to do it

Thanks

After sleeping on it, I realized that plugins like Unify don’t trigger the select element to open. Rather, the real select box is placed over the faux-select box and set to 0 opacity. This gives the impression of a javascript even being triggered when in fact you’re just clicking/tapping an invisible select element.
