I am using Watir and ruby.

I have a web page in which there is a select list. I want to click on  
the drop down arrow on it, so that entire option in it get visible.  
Then we can choose some particular option from it.

I am using

require ‘watir’  
instance = ‘[http://localhost/index.asp](http://localhost/index.asp)’  
ie=Watir::IE.start(instance)

#If we use ie.select\_list(:name, “rate”).select(“Hi”) then it get  
selected but I want to click on the arrow, then after choose option from  
it.
