How we can create a select option input with folding dropdowns? Solution: See this Folding Select Dropdown Using JavaScript and CSS, Dropdown Options.
Previously I have shared some Option Select programs, but it has a folding dropdown feature. Basically, the <select> element is used to create a drop-down list. And the <option> tags inside the <select> element define the available options in the dropdown. By default, this tag is non-stylish but we can style or customize it.
Today you will learn to create unique and stylish dropdown options for select. Basically, there ate 2 select inputs with their options list. The main factor of this select dropdown is the folding option list, when you will click on the input then the options will reveal with folding effect. And there is a tick mark also, when you will select an option then the tick mark will visible on the right of the option and the list will hide again with fold effect.
So, Today I am sharing Folding Select Dropdown Using JavaScript and CSS. There I have used HTML tags to create the layout, CSS for styling and JavaScript for functioning. This is a unique and complete select option program and ready to use. You can use this program on your website to attract your users.
If you are thinking now how this folding dropdown program actually is, then see the preview given below.
Preview Of Dropdown Options
See this video preview to getting an idea of how this program looks like.
Live Demo
Now you can see this program visually, also you can see it live by pressing the button given above. If you like this, then get the source code of its.

Folding Select Dropdown Using JavaScript and CSS Source Code
Before sharing source code, let’s talk about it. First I have created a form tag and placed all elements inside it. Inside the form tag, I have placed 2 select tags with labels and options tag. In option tags, I have placed values and texts also. Also in the HTML file, I have linked external files like CSS and JavaScript.
Now using CSS I have placed all the elements in the right places, as you can see in the preview. With CSS I gave basic values like size, position, margin, padding, etc to all the elements. There I have used CSS variables to store and pass custom data. For creating the folding animation, I have used CSS @keyframe command.
JavaScript handling here all the functions in the program. There I have used JS if{} else{} statements to create some functions. Also, there I have used switch, case, break commands. There the JS part is a little complicated and hard to explain. You will understand easily after getting the codes, I can’t explain in writing.
For creating this program you have to create 3 files. First file for HTML, second for CSS, and third file for JavaScript. Follow the steps to creating this program without any error.
index.html
Create an HTML file named ‘index.html‘ and put these codes given below.
