Programmatically Display Select Droplist Options

I have a select droplist that I need to have display its options when it recieves focus. Is there a way to get a droplist to open without clicking on it with the mouse?

You should be able to change the "size" attribute of the SELECT object - allowing it to operate like a list box.

Good idea but no cigar

Thanks for the reply. I tried several variations of your idea and couldn't get anything to work. I've searched around quite a lot and it appears it can't be done although it pains me to say it. I'm sure there's a workaround out there somewhere.
