Message:

I'm using selectize.js for my search form and want to show select list opened by default.

<select id="select-state" name="state[]" multiple class="demo-default" placeholder="Select Models">

 <option value="">Select Models</option>

 <option value="Tanzania">Tanzania</option>

 <option value="Kenya">Kenya</option>

 <option value="Uganda">Uganda</option>

 <option value="Asia">Asia</option>

 <option value="Malaysia">Malaysia</option>

 <option value="Japan">Japan</option>

</select>

<script>

$('#select-state').selectize({

    maxItems: 5

});

</script>

I have tried different methods but none of them are working.
By jQuery

$('#select-state').show().focus().click();

By CSS

<style>.selectize-dropdown{ display:block!important; visibility:visible!important;}</style>

My Answer:
You can achieve this by using the `open` method provided by selectize.js. Here's an example code snippet to show the select dropdown opened by default:

javascript
// Initialize selectize
var $select = $('#my-select').selectize({
// options
});

// Get selectize instance
var selectize = $select[0].selectize;

// Open the dropdown
selectize.open();


Make sure to replace `#my-select` with the ID of your select element. This code will open the select dropdown by default when the page loads.
