@Aaron@front-end.social when I used to teach this stuff, I had two rules:
1. Is it accessible (AIM)?
2. Is it supported in all major browsers today?
The rest is experimentation at best and CCS complication at worst.

@cubeExplorer@mastodon.social Yes, it’s accessible — as long as you don’t mess screw up the CSS — it’s a `select`. It’s supported in Chromium and Safari Technical Preview with Firefox working on it too. Checks both boxes, plus it’s a progressive enhancement that doesn’t sacrifice the experience in browsers that don’t support. And it’s way better than a JS-driven faux-select on pretty much every level.
