How to make a falling list on JavaScript

This article shows how to create a drop-down list in JavaScript with an example code.

Falling List with JavaScript

Creating a falling list on JavaScript is quite easy. All you need to do is create an array of items and then loop through them to create the list. The following example shows a basic way to do this:

//Define an array of items
var items = [
    "Apples",
    "Oranges",
    "Bananas",
    "Grapes",
    "Cherries"
];

//Create a list element
var list = document.createElement("ul");

//Loop through the items and add them to the list
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
    var item = document.createElement("li");
    //Set the text of the item
    item.innerText = items[i];
    //Add the item to the list
    list.appendChild(item);
}

//Add the list to the page
document.body.appendChild(list);

This code will create a simple unordered list with the items from the array. You can customize the list however you want by adding classes, styling, and modifying the HTML elements.

If you want to make the list fall, you need to use CSS animations. First, you need to define the animation, like this:

.falling-list li {
    animation: fall 3s linear infinite;
}

@keyframes fall {
    0% {
        transform: translateY(0px);
    }
    100% {
        transform: translateY(200px);
    }
}

This defines an animation called "fall" which will move the list items down 200 pixels in 3 seconds. You can adjust the speed and distance of the animation by changing the duration and translation values.

Finally, you need to add the animation class to the list, like this:

list.classList.add("falling-list");

And that's it! Your list is now falling in a loop. You can further customize the animation and the list itself with more CSS rules.
