In this program [Animated Search Box], at first, on the webpage, there is only a search icon and when you click on that icon, then the search input appears with an elastic animation. When you type something and click on the search icon, your typed data is shown at the bottom of the search bar. There is also shown a cancel or hide icon [cross sign icon] and when you click on that cancel icon, the visible search input and your typed data will be hidden.
