is there any way to expand the options list by default, without clicking the selection menu ?

Thanks for using react-select!

Here is a Plunker you can fork that has react-select loaded and supports JSX syntax:

You may also find the online Babel tool quite helpful if you wish to use ES6/ES7 syntax not yet supported by the browser you are using.

Use openOnFocus={true} and focus the select?

That doesnt appear to work. I have tried most of the props to try and get the component into a state where the options list is always displayed.

You need to set "autofocus" and "openOnFocus" to true. Alternatively, you can call "focus" instance method in your own "componentDidMount" function with "openOnFocus" set to true.

"autofocus"=true and "openOnFocus" = true works for me. Thanks !
