How to move focus to next element on enter on dynamically created select

html form contains input elements.

Javascript and jquery code are used to create select element at runtime and inserting it after element elemand assigning Bootstrap 5 class to it:

let selectArray = ["Intv Scheduled", "Selected", "Rejected", "On Hold"];
let id = 'Customer';

$('#' + id).remove();

var selectList = document.createElement("select");
selectList.id = selectList.name = id;
selectList.className = "form-select";

elem.after(selectList);
for (var i = 0; i < selectArray.length; i++) {
    var option = document.createElement("option");
    option.value = option.text = selectArray[i];
    selectList.appendChild(option);
}  
selectList.focus();

User selects item using enter key. After pressing enter select element is still focused.

How to move focus to next element in form if enter is pressed?

There are two pure JavaScript methods for replacing the $(...).remove() function in jQuery.

Solution One - The .remove() function.

let id = "";
// Find the element then remove it
document.getElementById(id).remove();

Reference:

Solution Two - Finding the parent node then using the .removeChild() method.

let id = "";
// Find the element mentioned
let element = document.getElementById(id);
// Find the elements parent node
let parent = element.parentNode;
// Remove the element from the parent
parent.removeChild(element);

Kind of hard to guess what you are asking for.

There are already multiple suggestions and answers available on SO.

Enter key press behaves like a Tab in Javascript

document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {

  if (event.keyCode === 13 && event.target.nodeName == 'SELECT') {
    var form = event.target.closest('form');
    var index = Array.prototype.indexOf.call(form, event.target);
    form.elements[index + 1].focus();
    return false;
  }
});
<form>
<div id = "Customer">Customer</div>
<select>
<option value = "">Test</option>
<option value = "">Test</option>
</select>
<input type = "text">
<select>
<option value = "">Test</option>
<option value = "">Test</option>
</select>
<select>
<option value = "">Test</option>
<option value = "">Test</option>
</select>
<input type = "text">
</form>
