When I type something in the search box the dropdown list shows but I want that when I click outside the rest of the search box, the search list will be closed.
function myFunction(e) {
// find all `li` > a elements
let col=document.querySelectorAll('ul#myUL li a');
// iterate through all elements; re-hide & remove className from each.
col.forEach(n=>{
n.parentNode.style.display='none';
n.classList.remove('bold');
// if the typed value matches the beginning of a list item; display the text & assign Bold className
if( this.value.length > 0 && this.value.trim()!='' && n.textContent.toLowerCase().includes( this.value.toLowerCase() ) ){
n.parentNode.style.display='block';
// make the whole word bold
//n.classList.add('bold');
// make the matched portion bold
n.innerHTML = n.textContent.substr(0,n.textContent.toLowerCase().indexOf(this.value.toLowerCase()))+`<span class="bold">${this.value}</span>` + n.textContent.substr(n.textContent.toLowerCase().indexOf(this.value.toLowerCase())+this.value.length)
}
});
}
document.querySelector('input[name="search"]').addEventListener('keyup',myFunction);
