title: Material Design Select Dropdown
body: <p>I'm trying to create different Form elements that reflect Google's material design principles. I have noticed that I'm not really able to find a  dropdown example anywhere. The closest that I could find was in the<a href="http://www.polymer-project.org/components/paper-elements/demo.html#paper-dropdown-menu" rel="noreferrer"> Polymer Project</a> .</p>
  
  <p><b>My questions are:</b></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is Google shying away from using this particular form input type with Material Design?</li>
  <li>Could anybody please direct me to how to create a similar Select Form input to the one displayed in the link. I am aware that the one displayed in the link is not a form input per se, but surely something similar is possible for a form <code>&lt;select&gt;</code>.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have tried transforming a normal select using CSS but this seems to be extremely tricky. The other option is to recreate the select using Javascript and Unordered lists, but how user (Device and Developer) friendly is this solution?</p>
