Hi:

    I use JS functions in my client's browser to move thru several <input> 
and <select> fields.

    When I programmatically *set focus* to a <select> field, I wish its 
drop-down list to automagically 'drop down'.

    It does not do this until I 'click' on the <select> element first.

    (btw, I already set the background color of a 'focussed' field to pink, 
then 'onblur' I re-set the background to the default background color)

Question: Is there a programmatic way to 'drop-down' the <select> list as 
soon as it gains focus without clicking first.

Thank you.
