Ask for advice: How to nest another drop down list inside a drop down list and get the value_html/css_WEB-ITnose

I recently encountered a technical problem during web front-end development, but I couldn’t find a solution. I would like to ask: How to implement a "parent" drop on the web client side? Nest another "child" drop down list inside the down list and pass the value of the sub-drop-down menu to the upper-level drop-down menu and output
Reply to discussion (solution)
1. The outer drop down list is simulated through other elements such as div
2. Redesign it to make it more reasonable. This situation can be like the common selection of provinces. Select the city and other related options like that
Thank you friends upstairs. Since my experience is very limited, I wonder if I can provide some examples or give a link for reference.
Thank you!
The current situation is as follows:
(1) Running abnormally on firefox;
(2) The value taken from the child dropdownlist, I don’t know how to assign it to the previous dropdownlist (That is, the parent dropdownlist simulated by css and div)
The exercise source code is as follows:

How do I use the element to represent the main content of a document?

It can be used in conjunction with ARIA properties to enhance accessibility.

Multiple related check boxes should use the same name but different values, and wrap them with fieldset to improve accessibility; 3. Hide native controls when customizing styles and use CSS to design alternative elements while maintaining the complete functions; 4. Ensure availability, pair labels, support keyboard navigation, and avoid relying on only visual prompts. The above steps can help developers correctly implement checkbox components that have both functional and aesthetics.
How do I minimize the size of HTML files?
Jun 24, 2025 am 12:53 AM
To reduce the size of HTML files, you need to clean up redundant code, compress content, and optimize structure. 1. Delete unused tags, comments and extra blanks to reduce volume; 2. Move inline CSS and JavaScript to external files and merge multiple scripts or style blocks; 3. Simplify label syntax without affecting parsing, such as omitting optional closed tags or using short attributes; 4. After cleaning, enable server-side compression technologies such as Gzip or Brotli to further reduce the transmission volume. These steps can significantly improve page loading performance without sacrificing functionality.
