[jQuery] Pseudo drop down/select box

[cj5]

How can I mimmick the events of a select box, like the ones you find
in forms? I want to create a quick link menu just like Google Groups
has the My Groups menu (see above). Here is my attempt:

$(document).ready(function() {
        $('#quicklinksmenu').css({left: $('#quicklinks').offset().left +
'px', top: ($('#quicklinks').offset().top + 22) + 'px'});
        $('#quicklinksmenu').hide();

        $('#quicklinks').click(function() {
                if($('#quicklinksmenu').css('display') == 'none') {
                        $('#quicklinksmenu').show();
                } else if($('#quicklinksmenu').css('display') == 'block') {
                        $('#quicklinksmenu').hide();
                }
        });

        $(document).click(function() {
                if(!$(this).is('#quicklinksmenu')) {
                        $('#quicklinksmenu').hide();
                }
        });
});
