James, I tried doing this:

var wshshell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell")
wshshell.SendKeys ("%{DOWN}")

Won't work, and I assume its because wsh is not safe for scripting in IE (it would be a huge security hole).  Maybe that's why you're getting a different error.

I don't think there's any other way to do what you're trying to do.  You'd think that there'd be a dhtml method to expand a select...NOT.

Regards, Bob
