I found that in IE8 Select closes if I use focus or click events for resize and absolute positioning.
And user have to click it again to view options.

I replaced focus event to mousedown to avoid this.

Thanks Jeroen. I’ve used your modification now and it makes life even easier. Here’s the whole code I used:
$(function(){ if($.browser.msie){ $('select').focus(function(){ $(this).parent().parent().addClass('ie_select'); }); $('select').blur(function(){ $(this).parent().parent().removeClass('ie_select'); }); } });

You might wanna apply this code to IE only:

if($.browser.msie){
$(’select’).focus(function(){
$(this).addClass(‘ie-select’);
}).blur(function(){
$(this).removeClass(‘ie-select’);
});
}
