About this vibe coding template
Custom select dropdown template for developers and designers who have hit the wall the native select puts up. It is the one control the browser barely lets you style, so a carefully built form ends up with a single element that looks like it came from somewhere else, and on some platforms the operating system draws it for you. Rebuilding it is the standard answer and the reason this is such a common search. Keyboard and screen reader behavior come with it, because a select that only works with a mouse is a step backwards. Plain HTML and CSS, no libraries and no build step.

Common questions about this template
Why build a custom select dropdown?
Because the native one takes almost no styling and on some platforms the operating system draws it. In a carefully made form it is the element that looks wrong.
Does a custom select still work with a keyboard?
It has to. Arrow keys, typing to jump, enter to choose, and escape to close are what people expect, and a select that only answers a mouse is worse than the native one.
When should I keep the native select?
On a phone, it is worth a look. Mobile browsers turn the native control into a full screen picker that is very good, so the case for replacing it is weaker there.
Which tools work with this select template?
Claude Code, Replit, Lovable, ChatGPT Codex, Bolt, and Cursor. Paste it in and describe the options it should hold.
