How to simulate click on dropdown list?

Question

Here is Google registration page. There is a dropdown list. How to simulate click on it using jQuery? My code doesn't work.

$('#Gender').click()

enter image description here

P.S. I am wiritng userscript for another google website and there are same dropdowns. So I don't want to make a script for autoregistration, don't worry.

@wumm I just mentioned reason in P.S. I am writing userscript for Google Map Maker — Vlad Holubiev, Dec 07 '13 at 17:20
@wumm Yes, I expect to change value after click. Or is there an easier way? — Vlad Holubiev, Dec 07 '13 at 17:22
Yes it is. Inspect this "select" because it isn't a real select. On the registration page there is an hidden input with the id HiddenGender. To change the value use something like `$("#HiddenGender").val("Male");` — idmean, Dec 07 '13 at 17:24
@wumm did you try that? It doesn't work for me. At least after pasting to Chrome's Webconsole. Anything happens. — Vlad Holubiev, Dec 07 '13 at 20:42

You can do it with HTML + javascript, but it works only on Chrome.

By looking your screenshot it appear that it is not a real dropdown (i.e. select tag) .

I believe your are using kendodropdown or jquery UI combobox or etc .

it change the dropdown to span,textbox combination and also change the id. To fire click event first inspect the element ,then bind it using the actual generated id or you can use class to bind the event .

if this doesn't help you provide html and javascript .
