Check www.irt.org
The javascript FAQ section has a bunch of stuff about events.  I think
you can "fake" an event on an element, to mimic a mouse click for the
drop down.

Subject: [javascript] Automatically Expand a DropDown

Hi,

I've got the standard sort of thing where a dropdown listbox gets 
populated by a list of values. But the effect I'm after this time is for
the dropdown listbox to AUTOMATICALLY be expanded to reveal this set of 
values as soon as the listbox control receives focus .... Any ideas on
how to achieve this, please ?

Thanks.

Ray
