# Working with dropdown list items in JavaScript

Let us have a reference to the `option` tag in a variable. For example, obtained as follows:

`let select = document.querySelector('#select'); let option = select[0];`

In this case, the `text` property will store the text of the option, the `value` property will store the value of the attribute of the same name, and the `selected` property will store the value of `true` or `false` depending on whether the list item is selected or not:

`console.log(option.text); console.log(option.value); console.log(option.selected);`

Go through the list items in a loop and add an exclamation mark to the end of the text for the selected item, and a question mark for unselected items.
