如何使搜索框选择切换打开其下方的框（div？）以显示我已编译的信息

Question

On a page of my site, I want a searchbox that will enable visitors to type in the name of a US state or Canadian territory or province. Once the searchbox is populated with their choice, I want clicking on an icon next to their selection to toggle open a box underneath that will display information I've compiled related to that selection.

Here, originally from CodeNepal, modified somewhat by me, is a good example of what I want. However, instead of sending the visitor to a Google page whose search term matches the inputted selection, I want a corresponding box to toggle open. I know that it's the "weblink" line that needs to change, but I'm not sure how to amend it to display/hide a div or something like that.

Note: I'm not sure if this is even pertinent, but rather than attempt to relate each of the 64 posssible selections to a database entry, I would hand write them out into divs with anchors or whatever.

 <div class="wrapper">
   <div class="search-input">
     <a href="" target="_blank" hidden></a>
     <input type="text" placeholder="Type to search..">
     <div class="autocom-box">
       <!-- here list are inserted from javascript -->
     </div>
     <div class="icon"><i class="fas fa-search"></i></div>
   </div>
 </div>

Dropdown with searchable text

 // hardcoded array - (you can fetch it from api aswell) let suggestions = [ "Alabama", "Alaska", "Arizona", "Arkansas", "California", "Colorado", "Connecticut", "District of Columbia", "Delaware", "Florida", "Hawaii", "Idaho", "Illinois", "Indianar", "Iowa", "Kansas", "Kentucky", "Louisiana", "Maine", "Maryland", "Massachusetts", "Michigan", "Minnesota", "Mississippi", "Missouri", "Montana", ]; const dropdownList = document.getElementById('statesList'); suggestions.forEach((suggestion, index) => { let el = document.createElement("option"); el.label = suggestion; el.value = suggestion; el.id = suggestion; dropdownList.appendChild(el); }); const search = () => { const selectedOption = document.getElementById('states').value; console.log(selectedOption); // inputVal is the selected option // write code to append data about selected option }

 <html> <body> <h1>Dropdown with searchable text</h1> <form> <label for="states">Choose your state:</label> <input list="statesList" id="states" name="states" placeholder="type here..." /> <button type='button' onclick='search()'>SEARCH</button> <datalist id="statesList"></datalist> </form> </body> </html>
