Another customisable <select> demo to add to the pile. I had a lot of fun with anchor position, anchor containers, scroll containers, calc-size etc etc https://random-stuff.jakearchibald.com/fancy-select/

Chrome only… for now, but it falls back nicely.

@jaffathecake Hi Jake, kind of an off topic here but are you aware of a proposal where you start typing inside an input field and the select option values are filtered? Maybe am I missing something obvious.

Have a nice day.

@jaffathecake That's it! I forget about this one and I remember why I didn't use it. Because of this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535985
