How can you programmatically tell an HTML select to drop down (for example, due to mouseover)?
You can’t do this with a HTML select tag, but you can do it with JavaScript and HTML. There are variety of existing controls that do this – for instance, the ‘suggest’ list attached to the SO ‘interesting/ignored tag’ entry, or Gmail’s lookup for email adresses.
There are many JavaScript+HTML controls that provide this capability–look for autocomplete controls for ideas.
See this link for the Autocomplete control…http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/
