Let's code
In index.html inside body tag write this
<div class="container">
<button class="select" name="select" value="options">options</button>
<div class="options">
<p class="item active">option 1</p>
<p class="item">option 2</p>
<p class="item">option 3</p>
<p class="item">option 4</p>
</div>
</div>
And add some CSS
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
*:focus{
outline: none;
}
body{
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
background: #ff6767;
font-family: 'roboto', sans-serif;
}
.container{
position: relative;
}
.select{
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
border-radius: 10px;
border: none;
text-transform: capitalize;
color: #fff;
background: #292929;
text-align: left;
padding: 0 15px;
font-size: 16px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.select::after{
content: '';
position: absolute;
right: 20px;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%) rotate(45deg);
width: 6px;
height: 6px;
border-right: 2px solid #fff;
border-bottom: 2px solid #fff;
}
.select:hover{
background: #222222;
}
.select.active{
background: #222222;
border-bottom-left-radius: 0;
border-bottom-right-radius: 0;
}
.options{
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: fit-content;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
display: none;
}
.options.active{
display: block;
}
.options .item{
color: #fff;
text-transform: capitalize;
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
padding: 0 15px;
line-height: 30px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.options .item.active{
background: #292929;
}
we also need to write JS. So let's write some
const select = document.querySelector('.select');
const optionBox = document.querySelector('.options');
const options = [...document.querySelectorAll('.options .item')];
let activeOption = 0; // default should be 0
window.onclick = (e) => {
if(!e.target.className.includes('select')){
select.classList.remove('active');
optionBox.classList.remove('active');
} else{
select.classList.toggle('active');
optionBox.classList.toggle('active');
}
}
options.forEach((item, i) => {
item.onmousemove = () => {
hoverOptions(i);
}
})
const hoverOptions = (i) => {
options[activeOption].classList.remove('active');
options[i].classList.add('active');
activeOption = i;
setValue();
}
window.onkeydown = (e) => {
if(select.className.includes('active')){
e.preventDefault();
if(e.key === 'ArrowDown' && activeOption < options.length - 1){
hoverOptions(activeOption + 1);
} else if(e.key === 'ArrowUp' && activeOption > 0){
hoverOptions(activeOption - 1);
} else if(e.key === 'Enter'){
select.classList.remove('active');
optionBox.classList.remove('active');
}
}
}
const setValue = () => {
select.innerHTML = select.value = options[activeOption].innerHTML;
}
setValue();
I hope you understood everything. If you have any doubt or you find any mistake that I made or you have any suggestion feel free to ask me in comment.
If you are interested in programming and want to know how I a 15yr old teen do coding make these design. You can follow me on my Instagram. I am also planning to post my game development stuff on Instagram.
