So I can see the options of the select element but I need to click on it. What if I want to use a function? When something happens this select element should be selected, means the list is open and I can see the options. I don't want the user to click on the select element, I want something else to open it.

**What I've tried**

```
$("select").select();
$("select").click();
$("select").focus();

```

There is a select element, usually if you want it to open (the drop down list), you click on it. What I want is to open it if I click on a `DIV` or anything else. I want this drop down list to to open, without having the user clicking on the select element.
