I've used dispatchEvent() and I can cause it to execute the function i've bound to the event, but the dropping down of the listbox, as would occur if you were to actually click or tap it, does not occur.

This is on an asp.net page. Target platform of the Android Browser. Though if I try that in IE launched from Visual Studio 10's IDE it doesn't dropdown the list either.

Any pointers?

Thank you.

There's no such thing as a "asp.net" page. Everything is HTML on the client. – Diodeus - James MacFarlane May 09 '12 at 18:26
This is not a scriptable event. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2895608/click-trigger-on-select-box-doesnt-work-in-jquery – Diodeus - James MacFarlane May 09 '12 at 18:30
code the box instead of using the select – Huangism May 09 '12 at 20:27
