Getting a drop down select list to stay extended after selection

Getting a drop down select list to stay extended after selection

I have a drop down box in this jsfiddle -
http://jsfiddle.net/stevea/DFBdk/1/ - that holds a list of files that can
be deleted. So in the actual application, for each file you want to delete
you drop down the list, pick the file, it gets deleted, and the drop down
list closes. Then you have to drop it down again and pick another file if
you want to delete another one. What I would like is for the list to stay
down so you can just click one file after another to delete many files. To
close the list when you're done you would click the drop down arrow again.
Does anyone see a way, using jQuery perhaps, to implement this behavior?
I've tried fooling with selectedIndex, but that just controls the item
shown in the drop down when it's closed.
Thanks
