How can I create a category option with a dropdown menu on my website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?
I’m working on a website and I’m trying to implement a category selection feature. I want users to be able to select a category from a dropdown menu when they click on the category option.
I’m looking for guidance on how to implement this functionality using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Specifically, I need help with the code structure and any necessary event handling to make the dropdown menu appear when the category option is clicked.
Any assistance or example code snippets would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Certainly! Below is an example of how you can create a category selection feature with a dropdown menu using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This example assumes that you want a simple dropdown that shows different categories when clicked:
In this example, when a user clicks on "Select Category," the dropdown menu will appear, showing a list of categories. When a category is selected, the dropdown will hide, and the selected category will be displayed in the main area.
Feel free to customize the categories, styling, and behavior based on your specific requirements.
Here is the code snipet and explaination.
The HTML structure includes a div with the class dropdown, containing a span for the category title and a div with the class dropdown-content for the dropdown options.
The CSS styles define the appearance of the dropdown and set it to be initially hidden. The dropdown content becomes visible when the user hovers over the category.
The JavaScript function selectCategory is called when an option is clicked. It currently displays an alert with the selected category, but you can customize this function to perform any desired actions. And change the styles for these element as you want.
