I’m getting a selectbox with an undefined amount of options.

Example
My selectbox contains 50 options with different values. What I do is to just show option 1-10 and 25-30. The others are detached. By clicking option 30 the detached options are attached.

My problem is that the selectbox closes like it always does after a selection. Is there a way to suppress this behaviour?

It would be really great if one clicked option 30 and the detached options would be displayed just under option 30 without the selectbox closing.
