HTML States Dropdown - Display Selected Value Rather than Text - javascript

I am creating an HTML select-option dropdown menu that displays the 50 states in their full spelling with the abbreviations as their underlying value.
When the dropdown is expanded, I want the user to see the full spelling of the states, but to save space I want the value, which is the abbreviation, to be on display in the closed dropdown once a selection has been made.
For example, the user would see Alabama when they expand the dropdown, but "AL" when they select that state. I have been unable to find a graceful solution to this seemingly simple problem.
Any ideas?

Sorry it looks a bit messy but you can fix it up. I'm giving you the idea! Here's a fiddle.
Oh by the way, it will work on Chrome only.

Why are the 2 <select> elements that are being appended to my form not looking the same as the first 2 fixed in my Form?

I have an HTML form that gets company information.
In that form, I have 2 <select multiple> elements (one for company countries and one for sectors) on which I used JQuery and Bootstrap to give them a nice style and to allow the user to choose multiple options in an easier manner.
The Problem: When the user clicks "Add Company Button" to add a new company section to the form, the appended <select multiple> elements are not being styled the same way.
The difference isn't between the first two select fields, it is rather between the first 2 select fields and the pairs that get added when you click 'Add Company'. The first two are appearing how I want them (2 rectangular boxes in which the user clicks on multiple options from the dropdown), while the others are appearing like an unstyled dropdown where you have to press Ctrl+click on the options you want to select
Please note that I removed the CSS and other parts of the page to keep things simple. Also in the appended section, I removed some options to stay within the character limit of this post
The code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".mul-select").select2({
placeholder: "Select Company Sectors", //placeholder
tags: true,
tokenSeparators: ['/', ',', ';', " "]
});
})
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".mul-select.countries").select2({
placeholder: "Company's Country Locations", //placeholder
tags: true,
tokenSeparators: ['/', ',', ';', " "]
});
})
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").on("click", ".add_new_frm_field_btn", function() {
var index = $(".company-info").find(".company-info-row").length + 1;
$(".company-info").append(`

Any help in making them appear and function in the same way is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
My Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/30jwqfc5/
The first two select elements are instance of select2 and the later element is native html select. You need to instantiate select2 for the dynamically generated select elements after hitting the add company button, inside the click handler,
$('.mul-select').select2();
here is the fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/vpof3ab5/

Link State List Drop Down HTML to a specific page

I have added a drop down state list to my home page, which uses wordpress/elemntor.
When an item is selected from the dropdown list I would like to redirect the user to another URL. For example, when Georgia is selected I would like to redirect to this URL: https://www.everlastingopportunities.com/georgia/
How do I make the page go to the above URL when Georgia selected in drop down?
<select>
<option value="AL">Alabama</option>
<option value="AK">Alaska</option>
<option value="AZ">Arizona</option>
<option value="AR">Arkansas</option>
<option value="CA">California</option>
<option value="CO">Colorado</option>
<option value="CT">Connecticut</option>
<option value="DE">Delaware</option>
<option value="DC">District Of Columbia</option>
<option value="FL">Florida</option>
<option value="GA">Georgia</option>
<option value="HI">Hawaii</option>
<!-- ... list continues ... -->
</select>
You can achieve it by passing the selected option to the javascript function and using it to redirect to the new url.
Ideal is to add a blank option on top, so that the person who wants Alabama as option makes a choice once.
I have made the script based on visible name as you showed in the question.
function my_function(event) {
var options = event.target.options;
var selected = options[options.selectedIndex].text;
window.location.href = 'https://www.everlastingopportunities.com/' + selected + '/';
}
<select onchange="my_function(event)">
<option value="">---</option>
<option value="AL">Alabama</option>
<option value="AK">Alaska</option>
<option value="AZ">Arizona</option>
<option value="AR">Arkansas</option>
<option value="CA">California</option>
<option value="CO">Colorado</option>
<option value="CT">Connecticut</option>
<option value="DE">Delaware</option>
<option value="DC">District Of Columbia</option>
<option value="FL">Florida</option>
<option value="GA">Georgia</option>
<option value="HI">Hawaii</option>
<!-- ... list continues ... -->
</select>
You can easy do it with jQuery
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="selectCountry">
<option value="AL">Alabama</option>
<option value="AK">Alaska</option>
<!-- ... list continues ... -->
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("#selectCountry").change(function(){
window.location.href = "https://www.everlastingopportunities.com/" + $("#selectCountry > option:selected").text() + "/";
});
});
</script>
Copy and past Code from post above for the full code and enter website links.
<select onchange="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option>Please select</option>
<option value="everlastingopportunities.com/Alabama/">Alabama (AL)</option>

Semantic UI dropdown not working properly

I want to make a multiple select search dropdown using Semantic UI, I already use bootstrap and if I use the entire Semantic theme it will destroy the bootstrap I already have in my project, so what I did is I included just the dropdown files (there is a seperate download on the Semantic website).
The problem is that the dropdown-only version is alot different than the semantic version (see links below).
I really don't want to use all of Semantic since it just won't work for me but I find it a bit odd that the standalone dropdown files don't match with the examples, am I missing a file?
<select class="ui fluid search dropdown" multiple="">

Yes, you have to include other related files so that your dropdown looks like in Semantic UI. They are search.css and js, label.css and js, icon.css
Additionally you need some body specific css:
body {
font-family: Lato,'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 1.4285em;
color: rgba(0,0,0,.87);
}

ANSWER UPDATE
Reading from HTMLSelectElement you can see a method:
add() Adds an element to the collection of option elements for this select element.
This is the function called and not yours.
Indeed, you can see this in the following example:
var opt1 = document.createElement("option");
opt1.value = "1";
opt1.text = "Option: Value 1";
function add (x) {
var selection = x;
console.log(x);
}
<select class="seletion" onchange="add(opt1);console.log('New option added at the end')">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
<option value="d">D</option>
<option value="e">E</option>
<option value="f">F</option>
<option value="g">G</option>
<option value="h">H</option>
<option value="i">I</option>
<option value="j">J</option>
<option value="k">K</option>
<option value="l">L</option>
<option value="m">M</option>
<option value="n">N</option>
<option value="o">O</option>
<option value="p">P</option>
<option value="q">Q</option>
<option value="r">R</option>
<option value="s">S</option>
<option value="t">T</option>
<option value="u">U</option>
<option value="v">V</option>
<option value="w">W</option>
<option value="x">X</option>
<option value="y">Y</option>
</select>
The name of your function add is considered a different function from JS.
Change its name, for example, to add1 or call it as a global function attached to the window object:
function add1(x) {
var selection = x;
console.log('add1: ' + x);
}
function add(x) {
var selection = x;
console.log('window.add: ' + x);
}
<select class="seletion" onchange="add1(this.value);">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
<option value="d">D</option>
<option value="e">E</option>
<option value="f">F</option>
<option value="g">G</option>
<option value="h">H</option>
<option value="i">I</option>
<option value="j">J</option>
<option value="k">K</option>
<option value="l">L</option>
<option value="m">M</option>
<option value="n">N</option>
<option value="o">O</option>
<option value="p">P</option>
<option value="q">Q</option>
<option value="r">R</option>
<option value="s">S</option>
<option value="t">T</option>
<option value="u">U</option>
<option value="v">V</option>
<option value="w">W</option>
<option value="x">X</option>
<option value="y">Y</option>
</select>
<select class="seletion" onchange="window.add(this.value);">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
<option value="d">D</option>
<option value="e">E</option>
<option value="f">F</option>
<option value="g">G</option>
<option value="h">H</option>
<option value="i">I</option>
<option value="j">J</option>
<option value="k">K</option>
<option value="l">L</option>
<option value="m">M</option>
<option value="n">N</option>
<option value="o">O</option>
<option value="p">P</option>
<option value="q">Q</option>
<option value="r">R</option>
<option value="s">S</option>
<option value="t">T</option>
<option value="u">U</option>
<option value="v">V</option>
<option value="w">W</option>
<option value="x">X</option>
<option value="y">Y</option>
</select>
Try this : Your code looks good to me but somehow function name add is not working, once i change the name of function it starts working, see working snippet
function showSelection(x) {
alert(x);
}
<select class="seletion" onchange="showSelection(this.value);">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
<option value="d">D</option>
<option value="e">E</option>
<option value="f">F</option>
<option value="g">G</option>
<option value="h">H</option>
<option value="i">I</option>
<option value="j">J</option>
<option value="k">K</option>
<option value="l">L</option>
<option value="m">M</option>
<option value="n">N</option>
<option value="o">O</option>
<option value="p">P</option>
<option value="q">Q</option>
<option value="r">R</option>
<option value="s">S</option>
<option value="t">T</option>
<option value="u">U</option>
<option value="v">V</option>
<option value="w">W</option>
<option value="x">X</option>
<option value="y">Y</option>
</select>
Here is one more reliable solution
function addsel() {
var selection = document.getElementById("sel1").value;
console.log(selection);
}
<select id="sel1" class="seletion" onchange="addsel()">
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
<option value="d">D</option>
<option value="e">E</option>
<option value="f">F</option>
<option value="g">G</option>
<option value="h">H</option>
<option value="i">I</option>
<option value="j">J</option>
<option value="k">K</option>
<option value="l">L</option>
<option value="m">M</option>
<option value="n">N</option>
<option value="o">O</option>
<option value="p">P</option>
<option value="q">Q</option>
<option value="r">R</option>
<option value="s">S</option>
<option value="t">T</option>
<option value="u">U</option>
<option value="v">V</option>
<option value="w">W</option>
<option value="x">X</option>
<option value="y">Y</option>
</select>
Using in-line event handlers is not always the best idea.
Why not try using the DOM API to handle this scenario?
Remove the 'onchange' handler in the <select>
then add the following to your JS script
document.getElementsByClassName('seletion')[0].addEventListener('change', function(){
console.log(this.value);
});

Trouble redirecting user to fixed URL in <select> dropdown list

I've looked at a few stackoverflow posts, and I cannot piece together why others redirect, and why mine does not. The only thing they have modified is the opening tag, and only changed the value "onchange".
Here is the 3 different types of HTML/Javascript I have tried.
In this one, I have modified the tag as shown.
<html>
<head>
<title>Location</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<p>Choose Your State</p>
<select onchange="window.location = http://google.com/;">
<option value="AL">Alabama</option>
<option value="AK">Alaska</option>
<option value="AZ">Arizona</option>
<option value="AR">Arkansas</option>

</select>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And I then added a onClick to the elements with added into the header. I also tried onChange and still nothing.

For the first code,
change your
<select onchange="window.location = http://google.com/;">
to
<select onchange="window.location = 'http://google.com/'">
