Javascript: replace <select> with <div>?

Is there any way to replace <select> tag to a <div> with hidden <div> that drops down when clicked? Not a full solution, but maybe some js or jQuery library/plugin to do this. I can spend a day developing it, but maybe someone did have already did it?

The re开发者_如何学运维ason i need it is the joomla administrative interface — the dropdown list contains very long values, and i had to set fixed width to those <select>s

Thank you for any help!

I tried out quite a few select replacement JQuery plugins, and settled on select-box - be sure to check out the demo page as well. There's a wide variety of plugins for this purpose, so if this one doesn't meet your needs I'm sure you'll find one that does with a little Google-fu.
