title: How to open the select input using jquery
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What I've tried</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>$("select").select();
  $("select").click();
  $("select").focus();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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 <code>DIV</code> or anything else. I want this drop down list to to open, without having the user clicking on the select element.</p>
