[jQuery] Pseudo drop down/select box

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();
        }
    });
});
