I have a web page that have background-image in it. After that, there's a combo box for filtering some content. I want to create this select - option background being transparent. I've read many result at google to use select option at CSS, but it didn't work. I've create a fiddle in here : http://jsfiddle.net/25CQE/5 For example and as You can see, the option background is not transparent. So, any idea how to solve that? Or it cannot be done by CSS?
Sorry for my bad English
If you want to make it fully transparent, than use
select {
border: 1px solid #fff;
background-color: transparent;
}
Demo
If you are looking to have semi-transparent background color, than you can use rgba() where a stands for alpha
select {
border: 1px solid #fff;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.5);
padding: 5px;
}
Demo 2
try this:
body
{
background: #82caff;
}
select {
padding: 5px;
color: #000;
font-size: 12px;
background: transparent;
-webkit-appearance: none;
}
select option{
background-color: #82caff;
}
<select id="nname">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="peugeot">peugeot</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
Just add
select {background:transparent;}
--edit additional --
You wont be able to style the options, because these take the style from the os or browser. You could try a javascript solution for nicer form elements such as http://uniformjs.com/ - you could then use a transparent image perhaps
you can change the color for select option on css file or style, the following way:
select option {
background-color: transparent;
}
or for the main select input
select {
background-color: transparent;
}

My problem is simple, I have a dark background, and the default white color of select is too problematic.
I tried changing it with background-color but it doesn't work.
The only solution I have is using box-shadow like that:
select { box-shadow: 0 0 10px 100px rgb(41,40,59) inset; color: rgb(200,200,200); }
But then, it hides the arrow.
(It also does it when I use another color, that's not the background's color fault.)
What can I do?
I tried with background-color seems to work fine, also with arrow.
if you mean style the childs of dropdown,
then use this selector ✅ option instead of ❌ select
select {
background-color: blue; /* works fine */
color: white;
padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
border-radius: 0.5rem;
}
/* you can style childs like this */
select option {
background-color: red;
}
<select name="cars" id="cars">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="opel">Opel</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
This seems like a trivial problem, but I can't figure it out.
On Bootstraps own website they have the Select example.
Looking at the code it looks like there's a border-radius of 4 on that select element.
My hope would be that changing that border-radius to 0 would then remove the border-radius from the select element, however, that's not the case - as seen in the picture below.
I've explored all the CSS that is changing that select element but none of it seems to remove the border radius.
Here is a version that works in all modern browsers. The key is using appearance:none which removes the default formatting. Since all of the formatting is gone, you have to add back in the arrow that visually differentiates the select from the input. Note: appearance is not supported in IE.
Working example: https://jsfiddle.net/gs2q1c7p/
select:not([multiple]) {
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
background-position: right 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

Based on Arno Tenkink's suggestion in the comments, here is an example using a svg instead of a png for the arrow icon.
select:not([multiple]) {
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
background-position: right 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="14" height="12" version="1"><path d="M4 8L0 4h8z"/></svg>');
padding: .5em;
padding-right: 1.5em
}
#mySelect {
border-radius: 0
}
<select id="mySelect">
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
</select>
In addition to border-radius: 0, add -webkit-appearance: none;.
I had the same issue and while user1732055's answer fixes the border, it removes the dropdown arrows. I solved this by removing the border from the select element and creating a wrapper span which has a border.
html:
<span class="select-wrapper">
<select class="form-control no-radius">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
</span>
css:
select.no-radius{
border:none;
}
.select-wrapper{
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 0px;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/Lrqh0drd/6/
You can use -webkit-border-radius: 0;. Like this:-
-webkit-border-radius: 0;
border: 0;
outline: 1px solid grey;
outline-offset: -1px;
This will give square corners as well as dropdown arrows. Using -webkit-appearance: none; is not recommended as it will turn off all the styling done by Chrome.
Using the SVG from #ArnoTenkink as an data url combined with the accepted answer, this gives us the perfect solution for retina displays.
select.form-control:not([multiple]) {
border-radius: 0;
appearance: none;
background-position: right 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml%20version%3D%221.0%22%20encoding%3D%22utf-8%22%3F%3E%20%3C%21DOCTYPE%20svg%20PUBLIC%20%22-//W3C//DTD%20SVG%201.1//EN%22%20%22http%3A//www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd%22%3E%20%3Csvg%20version%3D%221.1%22%20id%3D%22Layer_1%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A//www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20xmlns%3Axlink%3D%22http%3A//www.w3.org/1999/xlink%22%20x%3D%220px%22%20y%3D%220px%22%20width%3D%2214px%22%20height%3D%2212px%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%2014%2012%22%20enable-background%3D%22new%200%200%2014%2012%22%20xml%3Aspace%3D%22preserve%22%3E%20%3Cpolygon%20points%3D%223.862%2C7.931%200%2C4.069%207.725%2C4.069%20%22/%3E%3C/svg%3E);
padding: .5em;
padding-right: 1.5em
}
the class is called:
.form-control { border-radius: 0; }
be sure to insert the override after including bootstraps css.
If you ONLY want to remove the radius on select form-controls use
select.form-control { ... }
instead
EDIT: works for me on chrome, firefox, opera, and safari, IE9+ (all running on linux/safari & IE on playonlinux)
I'd like to change the blue background color from IE when a drop down is focused, but I can't seem to find any CSS to do this.
<select id=focusSelect><option>Option</option></select>
JS:
document.getElementById("focusSelect").focus();
CSS:
select:focus{
background-color: red;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/TafDD/3/
Specifically this is for when the drop down is not open. Styling the options is not a problem.
I also can't find any definitive answer on whether this is possible to do at all.
Setting the option background color also does not clear the blue color.
option {
background-color: green;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/srycroft/yE2Zg/
In Internet Explorer 11/Edge (not sure about previous versions) you can do this:
select:focus::-ms-value {
color: black;
background: red;
}
You should also specify the font color because it otherwise defaults to white (to originally contrast against the blue), so you'll want to override it too.
Here's a dabblet demo
Appreciate this is an oldish question, but to prevent the blue background on a selected option in a select dropdown in IE, use the MS pseudo element -ms-value as mentioned by WillRice above. Importantly though you need to set a color css attribute as well for the text as this will get defaulted to white.
select::-ms-value {
background: none; /* remove blue background on ie10/ie11 when selected*/
color:#000;
}
More info here
I'm using the CSS below and it is working in latest IE11, Edge, Firefox and Chrome (I have not tested it with earlier browsers). Just remove border-radius and padding if you don't need them. And thanks to willrice for his contribution:
select {
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 5px;
}
select:focus::-ms-value {
background: white;
color: black;
}
select::-ms-expand {
display: none;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 5px;
}
I've been fiddling around with css and javascript and have searched the internet to find a solution. Unfortunately it looks like it's not possible to change IE's blue highlight itself. In the following example I've used a combination of CSS an JS to achieve nearly the same result in ie as you have on http://jsfiddle.net/TafDD/3/ . Have a look at it.
An example is worth a thousand words: (tested in IE7)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>CSS Form Select Focus Color Change Test Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
/* Set the desired background color for the whole select element */
form select {
background-color: #fff;
}
form select option {
background: transparent;
}
/* Set the desired color for the focus state */
select:focus, select.focus {
background-color: #f00;
outline: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="POST">
<div id="selectWrap">
<select id="focusSelect" name="test_select">
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
<option value="3">Option 3</option>
</select>
</div>
</form>
<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>
// NOTE: This is a pure JavaScript variant.
// You could also use something like jQuery.
var selectBox = document.getElementById('focusSelect');
// This will add the .focus class to the select
// giving it the defined background color
selectBox.onfocusin = function() {
this.className = 'focus';
};
// and this will restore the original background
// color by removing the .focus class
selectBox.onfocusout = function() {
this.className = '';
};
// This removes the blue highlight after an option is selected
selectBox.onchange = function() {
this.blur();
};
</script><![endif]-->
</body>
</html>
I hope this helps you.

I have searched far and wide on the Internet but have not found anything helpful regarding how to style the dropdown portion of a dropdown list in a form. I would appreciate a pointer in the right direction. Thanks.
I've been working on the same problem for a while. Came up with a pretty simple solution using a holder div that is shorter then the dropdown itself. I also use a background image to get the dropdowns arrow to look the way I like. Check it out http://www.danielneumann.com/blog/how-to-style-dropdown-with-css-only/
All you need is a div around the select tag and 2 CSS classes.
HTML:
<div class="mainselection">
<select name="State" id="input7">
<option></option>
<option value="Alabama">Alabama</option>
...
<option value="Wisconsin">Wisconsin</option>
<option value="Wyoming">Wyoming</option>
</select>
</div>
CSS:
.mainselection {
overflow:hidden;
width:350px;
margin-left:35px;
background: url("images/dropdown_arrow.png") no-repeat #fff 319px 2px;
/* dropdown_arrow.png is a 31x28 image */
}
select {
border:0;
background:transparent;
height:32px;
border:1px solid #d8d8d8;
width:350px;
-webkit-appearance: none;
}
Then after a little Javascript verification, I can also switch the class on the div to .dropdownbad to give it a red border.
.dropdownbad {
border:2px solid #c13339;
}
The default and error states are shown here:
You can apply styles using the SELECT selector or applying a classname to a SELECT element. However, you'll run into issues with IE < 8 applying things like borders to the element.
You can then target options by using the OPTION selector.
SELECT { border: solid 1px red; font-weight: bold; }
OPTION { background:green; font-style: italic; }
Should give you a drop down with a red border (if using FF or IE8 in Standards mode) with bold text, and the options should be italic with a green background.

HTML:
<form>
<select>
<option>CSS</option>
<option>HTML </option>
<option>HTML 5</option>
</select>
</form>
CSS:
<style>
select {
border: 0 !important; /*Removes border*/
-webkit-appearance: none; /*Removes default chrome and safari style*/
-moz-appearance: none; /* Removes Default Firefox style*/
background: #0088cc url(img/select-arrow.png) no-repeat 90% center;
width: 100px; /*Width of select dropdown to give space for arrow image*/
text-indent: 0.01px; /* Removes default arrow from firefox*/
text-overflow: ""; /*Removes default arrow from firefox*/ /*My custom style for fonts*/
color: #FFF;
border-radius: 15px;
padding: 5px;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 5px rgba(000,000,000, 0.5);
}
</style>
Its possible, but convoluted to say the least. You can't actually style the drop down portion of a drop down list consistantly across different browsers as they all support them in different ways (I mean really varied support).
When I had a problam like this a few months ago, the only solution I found was to, using javascript, convert the drop down list into a ul/li drop down menu, which I could style. Of course there are numerous event that need handling, like selecting a value.
Luckly there's a plugin for JQuery that allows this be a trivial task. (The given Brainfault link for this plugin isn't working anymore.)
As mentioned above it's pretty much impossible to do using straight html, I have had good results with jQuery Combobox though.
Since this question was asked, browser technology has far improved. You can now create a custom dropdown menu entirely using CSS with no javascript.
Check out this blog post:
http://line25.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-pure-css-dropdown-menu
I have dropdowns in my cart that were light gray if not selected. I was able to turn the text black with this:
#customer_details ul {
color: black !important;
}
That was all I needed to change, so I can't say what else you could do.
First question...
I'm having trouble getting ANY of the Drop down menu/Input Select's to appear with size 18 font in Safari.
Works fine in FF.
Code:
<form class="form">
<select name="make">
<option value="0"> All</option>
</select>
</form>
Css:
.form input{
font-size:18px;
margin-bottom:0px;
}
Any ideas? Can view live at [http://www.motolistr.com][1]
Best,
Nick
EDIT 1:
Thanks for the quick reply. I added a style to the select itself to avoid confusion. I tried;
<select name='make' style='font-size: 18pt;'>
</select>
And
<select name='make' style='font-size: 18px;'>
</select>
And
<select name='make' style='font-size: 1.3em;'>
</select>
Still not working in SAFARI...Again FF works fine with all 3.
Best,
Nick
To style a select in Safari you first have to turn off the os styling:
select {
-webkit-appearance: none;
}
Funny thing though: If you change the background- or border-properties on your select Safari will all of a sudden also apply your font-size.
I figured out a way that safari will pick up on font-size ... all you need to do is set a border color, like the following.
-webkit-appearance: none; will make you lose all of safari's attributes, like the arrows... below you can increase the size without losing that.
Will Work in Safari
<select style=" font-size: 3em; border: black;">
<option>TEXT</option>
</select>
Won't Work in Safari
<select style=" font-size: 3em;">
<option>TEXT</option>
</select>
It appers select controls are non-stylable in Safari; it always uses its own OS X-style widget drawing routines to display them. Until recently, this was the norm: browsers would typically use plain OS-provided widgets for form fields. CSS2 doesn't really say how styles should apply to form fields (if at all).
Some browsers today apply the select's font style to the options (IE7, Opera); some allow the on-page select and the pop-up options to be styled differently (Mozilla, Chrome), so the best you can do for consistency is:
.form select, .form option {
font: Whatever 18px;
}
But if you absolutely need a stylable drop-down in Safari you will need to write your own clunky ersatz-select in JavaScript. (Or see one of the many existing scripts and framework plugins that do this.)
First off this
.form input{
font-size:18px;
margin-bottom:0px;
}
will not work because you are not styling the select element you are styling input elements. Try this and it will most likely work.
.form select {
font-size:18px;
margin-bottom:0px;
}
At least in Safari 5.1 (I don't have 3 running anymore) you can turn off the default styling with:
select{-webkit-appearance: none}
Then it will conform to your font sizing.
The select technically isn't an input tag. Try assigning a class to your select and set the style for the class.
EDIT: Turns out that Aqua style selects only have three different font sizes available. If you need to set an exact font size, you can turn off Aqua by giving the item a background color, then set the size. FYI, it appears that 20px works without setting the background so it must size up to the next supported Aqua size.
Reference: http://particletree.com/notebook/design-friendly-select-elements-in-safari-3/. Test page with various styles at http://particletree.com/examples/safari3/drop.html.
<select name='make' class='big-input'>
</select>
.big-input
{
background: #fff; // turns off Aqua
font-size: 18pt; // assuming you meant 18pt, not 18px
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
Setting line-height:100% will constrain the height of the select box for a more consistent look, but it still doesn't affect the actual font size.
In some cases it can help:
select {
-webkit-appearance: menulist-button;
font-size: 30px;
}
I found a way of changing the font size of a select element in Safari through the use of percentages.
Your code then becomes:
<select name='make' style='font-size: 120%;'></select>
For a 13px font size (which I found very appealing).
This is tested in Safari 5.1.3
You can target Safari select tag by doing this:
select {
width: 224px;
line-height: 1.8; (This can be in px too)
}
try this
<style>
select { border:0; color:#000000; background:transparent;
font-size:20px; font-weight:bold; padding:2px 10px; width:378px;
*width:350px; *background:#FFFFFF; -webkit-appearance: none; }
#mainselection { overflow:hidden; width:350px;
-moz-border-radius: 9px 9px 9px 9px;
-webkit-border-radius: 9px 9px 9px 9px;
border-radius: 9px 9px 9px 9px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 11px #330033;
background: url("img/arrow.gif") no-repeat scroll 319px 5px #FFFFFF;
}
</style>
