I'm trying to make a personalized :hover for <option> elements in <select> selector by mouseover eventListener. But for some reasons mouseover does not fired when the mouse has been on the option element.
var selectOne = document.querySelector('.select__first');
var selectTwo = document.querySelector('.select__second');
for (var key in selectOne) {
if (key % 2 == 0)
selectOne[key].classList.add('select__option-blue');
}
for (var key in selectTwo) {
if (key % 2 == 0)
selectTwo[key].classList.add('select__option-blue');
}
function onMouseOver(e) {
var target = event.target;
var options = event.target.closest('option');
if (!options) return;
console.log(options);
}
document.addEventListener( 'mouseover', onMouseOver); .select__element > p, span {
display: inline-block;
}
.select {
-webkit-appearance: listbox;
cursor: pointer;
}
.select__option-blue {
background-color: lightblue;
}
option {
cursor: pointer;
