How can I keep dropdown menus open while inspecting them in dev tools? (lemmy.world)

The dropdown menu is here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select

I’d like to change the CSS of the dropdown elements in a <select> element in dev tools, but I can’t make the dropdown stay open.

The style of the dropdown menu are managed by the operative system. You can't keep it open, and you can't modify it outside of your system settings.

You might re-implement the drop-down system menu by yourself via CSS/JS if this is your website, so they become actual elements of the website.
