open dropdown list from javascript function [duplicate]

by

Here you go..you can do this by dispatching mousedown event on dropdown..

Demo Fiddle

JS:

window.showState = function (str) {
    var dropdown = document.getElementById('Acntname');
    var event = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
    event.initMouseEvent('mousedown', true, true, window);
    dropdown.dispatchEvent(event);
}

EDIT: This works perfectly in Chrome <53, not sure for Firefox and IE.
