Answer 1

One thing that this doesn't answer is what happens when you click on one of the options in the select list after you have done your size = n and made it absolute positioning.

Because the blur event makes it size = 1 and changes it back to how it looks, you should have something like this as well

$("option").click(function(){
    $(this).parent().blur();
});

Also, if you're having issues with the absolute positioned select list showing behind other elements, just put a

z-index: 100;

or something like that in the style of the select.

Answer 2

It is not possible for javascript to "click" on an element (u can trigger the attached onclick event, but you can't literally click it)

To view all the items in the list, make the list a multiple list and increase its size, like such:

<select id="countries" multiple="multiple" size="10">
<option value="1">Country</option>
</select>
