How can I update variable and create variable drop-down lists via using HTML panel?

Grafana Dashboards

I am using HTML to create a drop-down list, but I don’t know how to make the selected value update the variable like it does when using the variable-panel in Grafana. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Noted: In the panel where I want the variable to update, I have already added the variable query

AND d.device IN ('$Device')

--------Variable--------
Name: Device
Preview of values:
mh00001
mh00002
mh00003
mh00004
mh00005
mh00006
mh00007
mh00008
mh00009
mh00010

----------HTML---------------

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="dropdown">
        <div class="square-box">Device</div>
        <select>
            <option disabled selected hidden>Select a Device</option>
            <option>Device 01</option>
            <option>Device 02</option>
            <option>Device 03</option>
            <option>Device 04</option>
            <option>Device 05</option>
            <option>Device 06</option>
            <option>Device 07</option>
            <option>Device 08</option>
            <option>Device 09</option>
            <option>Device 10</option>
        </select>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Welcome @achinyam

Any reason you are not using the stock variable drop down?

The stock variable doesn’t look good, and I need to customize the style to match our project dashboard.

check this thread out about custom stuff
it is for datepicker but might help you with grabbing the values and using them.
