Hello, is it possible to forcibly open a dropdown box (like, onmouseover)? Just a regular form dropdown. :)

Possible? - yes.

Useable? - in an HTA, but not otherwise practical...

example:

<body>
<select onmouseenter="this.focus();f()">
<option value="1">test
</select>

<script type="text/JScript">

function f(){
var ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
ws.sendkeys("%{DOWN}");}

</script>
</body>
