Workshop : JavaScript Combobox

The default set of HTML controls do not include functionality like that of the WinForms combobox. For UI designers, this is usually resolved by having both a text box and a dropdown select box and allowing users to use one or the other. However, the big drawback of this approach is that it takes up what could be valuable real estate space and it’s not necessarily the most elegant solution to the problem.

This workshop goes through how we can utilize the power of unordered lists and CSS to create a custom, JavaScript combobox.
