I am trying to have a user select a genre from my drop down list and get a random result from the genre they selected that is then displayed on the screen.
In other words, my idea is to have a user get a random options from the genre they choose from my list.
I am very very new to JavaScript but I want to try to do something creative for my project. I have tried this so far
function xyz() {

</div>CodePudding user response：
You could store all full list of anime titles in a variable—preferably an object of arrays. Whenever user selects a genre, you could simply generate a random integer per each sublist's length and show the result in the target p element.
See the snippet below for working example. I didn't modify the original HTML markup too much, except removing irrelevant elements to the question.
For this to work as intended, you need to make sure the list of option values match the keys of titles object.
const titles = {
