title: jQuery change select list selectedIndex on hover event and also send click?
body: <p>I have an image on my page that when hovered changes the selectedIndex of a select list.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>// change the selected index of the select list on element hover
  $("#mySelectList").attr('selectedIndex', 1); // works
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The select list also fires another function on change.  This works when I manually change the options from the select list but not when I change the selectedIndex on the hover event (code above).  </p>
  
  <p>My question, is there a way that I can also send a "click" event or something similar?  Basically I want to be able to change the selectedIndex of the select list and also have it fire the other function.</p>
