如何使用箭头键从“选择”框中选择一个选项？

Question

I have tried with .change() and/or with .select() , even with .click() , but no hope.

When I stop on a select box field with a Tab-focus, and when I press up or down I'd like that currently focused option item to be selected instantly.

Is it possible to achive this with jQuery/JavaScript?

This was more easy than I tought, with jQuery of course:

$('#year').on('keyup', function() {
    $(this).change();
});

As Xander suggested, I just triggered the .on('keyup') event on top of the select box field, and on each change of the selected value of the select box it will automatically select it and I have the event working!

Thanks all others who helped.
