Question

the .click() event doesn’t seem to work on select, please see: http://jsfiddle.net/fMTzD/

Even before the options are shown, I need the jQuery click function to do something. Is is possible? I don’t mind even if the options are not shown at all.

Thanks

I would use onFocus instead (although onMouseUp and onMouseDown are suitable alternatives):

$("select, button").focus(function () { 
    $(this).hide(); 
});

See my updates to your jsfiddle.

You cannot use onChange as that is triggered after the user chooses an option from the dropdown.
