Jquery how can i stop the select element from droping down?
<p>i want to stop the user to see the list while clicking select option element :</p>

<pre><code>&lt;select name="_users_id_requester"&gt;
  &lt;option value="0"&gt;-----&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option selected="" value="774"&gt;Asmaa El Habib,Yassine&lt;/option&gt;//except this one 
  &lt;option value="779" title="Ahlam Edouiri - U8K8O"&gt;Ahlam Edouiri&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option value="746" title="Ainane Mohamed - MohamedAinane"&gt;Ainane Mohamed&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>i have tried the readonly method , but the problem is i'm using the element within a form , so the form can't read the selected value </p>
