How to put placeholder on select?
Select box with a placeholder
First, you need to create your select items with the help of the <option> tag. Then, set the disabled and selected attributes for your empty element, which is supposed to be the placeholder. Now, you can see that the first line is like a placeholder field.
When should I use dropdowns?
Offering drop-down menus can help users avoid scrolling and can quickly get them access to your site's content. For large websites, drop-down menus can save users time by allowing them to jump down a level or two to get to the content they seek.
