This article will show you how to create a custom select menu with a search box using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. First, we create an option list for the select box, and we can search for text in the text input box. The search result displays the matched option value. Additionally, we have added a “clear” button to remove your latest search.
Preview
Approach
- First create an HTML card and center in the window, including a search box, all custom options as a menu, and a button to remove the latest search.
- Now create an unordered list inside the search box <div> and all the custom options inside <li> tag.
- In the custom select menu add all the options, in this case, add all the country’s name.
- Now add an output section where your selected “Options” from the menu will be displayed.
- Add an event listener to the search box to find selected countries in the list. If found, display the country name. Otherwise, display “blank”.
- Add a “clear” button to remove your latest search.
Example: In this example, we will see the implementation to create a custom menu with search box by using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Javascript
const searchBox = document.querySelector('.search-box');
const options = document.querySelectorAll('.options li');
const selectedOption = document.querySelector('.selected-option');
const clearButton = document.getElementById('clear-button');
// Check if search country present in menu list searchBox.addEventListener('input', () => {
const searchTerm = searchBox.value.toLowerCase();
options.forEach(option => {
const text = option.textContent.toLowerCase();
if (text.includes(searchTerm)) {
option.style.display = 'block';
} else {
option.style.display = 'none';
}
});
}); // Iterating and printing the selected country name for (const option of options) {
option.addEventListener('click', () => {
const value = option.getAttribute('data-value');
selectedOption.textContent =
"You have chosen " + option.textContent;
searchBox.value = '';
for (const opt of options) {
opt.style.display = 'block';
}
});
} clearButton.addEventListener('click', function () {
selectedOption.textContent = 'Select an option';
searchBox.value = '';
options.forEach(option => {
option.style.display = 'block';
});
}); |
