I have the following code for a button in jQuery Mobile

<div data-role="fieldcontain" class="toolbar-icons">
    <div data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" style="margin-left:15px;">
        <a href="#" data-icon="flat-mail" data-theme="a" data-iconpos="notext" data-role="button">Yes</a>
    </div>
</div>

I was wondering if it would be possible to trigger a select dropdown by clicking this button? Is there anyway of doing it?

Cheers

Do you want to trigger change event or just changing selected value? – Claudio Redi Aug 22 '13 at 10:44
If you mean show the options of a `select` element, no there is no way to do that programamtically. – Rory McCrossan Aug 22 '13 at 10:44
