how do i show the options in a select box when i tab into the box?

Question

I am building an application and have a page with a bunch of select boxes where the user must set different options...

How do i show all the options that are available when the user tabs into the box? Currently i can tab into the box and start typing and it will search through the options, but it does not show the available ones.

Is there a javascript solution for this? I am using firefox.

Any help would be appreciated.

This may help you out - http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/gr/column5/ - Refer to the 'AutoComplete.prototype.onchange = function()' It seems to me if you called this (Customized to your uses of course) on the gotfocus event it should do what you want it to. Hope this helps.
