Vanilla JavaScript Dropdown - replacement for <select>
Tiny (0.7 KB gzipped!) JavaScript replacement for <select> that makes styling easy and consistent.
— Inspired by the blazing fast, lightweight, cross-platform and crazy popular Vanilla JS framework.
How it works
Reads the original <select> element's options (with respect of selected, if any), creates and attaches the pseudo-select just before the original one, and hides the original.
Upon selection it updates the original <select>, so when you submit your form the value will be there.
JavaScript disabled? No problem! Nicely degrades to original <select>.
