Maybe faking the ctrl-event isn't the thing to do (if it is even possible). I would try
- Listening to the click event on the select / each option element (perhaps using delegation) - On click of each option, set it's "selected" attribute to "selected" or true (or removing the attribute if it is already selected) - And you might have to call "preventDefault" on the passed Event instance the listener to stop the default behaviour of deselecting other elements. Not sure if this would work though, and I'm already suspecting IE issues... Michal.
