I have not found a solution for styling the selected option inside a <select> tag.
Example:
<select class="cursor-pointer min-w-[160px] custom-black rounded-sm border border-[#d6dce2] focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 focus:border-[#d6dce2] font-bold px-4 text-sm py-2.5">
<option selected disabled hidden>Edit status</option>
<option value="1">Status1</option>
<option value="2">Status2</option>
<option value="3">Status3</option>
<option value="4">Status4</option>
</select>
I'm trying to change the font-style to italic only for "Edit status" option.
The problem is that when I apply 'italic' to the <select> tag, it applies it for all options. Select tag
Adding italic just to this option does not work at all.
Maybe it's possible using jQuery?
Short Answer:
I am not well versed in jQuery, perhaps someone can help you there, but the short answer is there is no way of styling select options.
Long(er) Answer:
<option> elements are styled by your OS -not the browser- so you cannot nest other elements or style them. The Mozilla Web Docs state:
If you really need full control over the option styling, you'll have to either use some kind of library to generate a custom control, or build your own custom control...
See this and this for other questions like this, and this for advanced style tips; maybe you can find an alternative to select, or design your own dropdown with CSS.
Hopefully that helps you out.

I need help to show different text upon selection form dropdown without javascript
i tried below code but it also use onchange event .
<div>
<select onchange="if(selectedIndex!=0)document.getElementById('t').innerHTML=options[selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="">< select an option ></option>
<option value="term 1">term 1</option>
<option value="term 2">term 2</option>
<option value="term 3">term 3</option>
</select>
</div>
<div id="t"></div>
I need help from you to have the same functionality but without javascript.
Thanks
Unfortunately this will not be easily possible and even possible with current css 3 and HTML 5 standards.
Actually based on pseudo selectors and elements you can do the checkbox hack
The same checked tag applies and for <option> elements from <select>
So based on this selector you can for example hide the selected element from the <select> with code like in this StackOverflow comment
The main problem here is that based on this pseudo selector you can select only elements that are inside the <select> tag - this means other option tags next to the selected one.
In order to build a selector that selects the element #t from your example you will first need to go out for the options element level and select the <select> tag and look for some element after it that you can try modifying/making visible/invisible with a css. In the current selector specification you are not able to get the parent of some element. See this stackoverflow comment for any updates on that. So as of FEB 2020 you will need again to do this with JS which makes the current effort useless.
I am creating a dropdown with AngularJS.
here is the code..
<div class="col-md-9">
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter Module" list="names"
ng-model="data.Name" />
<select id="names" class="form-control" ng-model="data.Name"
ng-change="SetCategory(data.Name)" name="name">
<option value='' disabled selected>------------- select an option ----------</option>
<option ng-repeat="e in BrData | filter:data.Name "
value="{{e.Name}}">{{e.Price}}</option>
</select>
</div>
NOTE: List is Dynamic and i am using AngularJS to get data.
I need To create a searchbar inside select tag.
But Input tag can't nested in select tag.What should I do?
You can use typeahead from UI Bootstrap: https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#!#typeahead
Or if you need more advanced features along with search like multi-select, select all, deselect all, disable options, keyboard controls and much more try this: http://dotansimha.github.io/angularjs-dropdown-multiselect/docs/#/main
The way I see it, there are three options here.
Option One - Input outside the dropdown
Get the input outside the dropdown, and filter the values based on that value from the outside. I know that this is not your intended functionality exactly, but it would save you some trouble.
Option Two - Use some kind of third party dropdown library
As Mohd mentioned https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#!typeahead is a good fit and UI select too
Option three - Create something of your own
It need not even be using <select> tag. This is by far the most difficult, but also the most customizable and suitable for individual needs. The select tag will not be used as it does not support input inside of it, so some high end css will need to be used, as well as some backwards compatibility multiple browser testing that the already made libraries have already done.
Dealing with the <select> nightmare
From the Docs:
<select> Element Technical summary1
Permitted content: Zero or more <option> or <optgroup> elements.
Tag omission: None, both the starting and ending tag are mandatory.
Permitted parents: any element that accepts phrasing content
The short answer is that <input> elements can not be placed inside <select> elements.
<datalist> Element2
The datalist element is intended to provide a better mechanism for this concept.
<input type="text" name="example" list="exampleList">
<datalist id="exampleList">
<option value="A">
<option value="B">
</datalist>

Use select2 as a dynamic option instead of HTML select option:

These questions are similar but not the same or are very outdated:
HTML font weight property on OPTION of HTML SELECT
How to style the option of an html "select" element?
How can I change the font-size of a select option?
The goal is to style different options of the same select menu with different font-weights. We only need to support modern browsers.
This code doesn't work, even though answers on Stack Overflow and elsewhere suggest it should in modern browsers like Chrome.
Here's an example of what it looks like when using the answer from #gravgrif, which shows all the options styled the same:
Another alternative that did not help was bundling each option in an optgroup, and styling the optgroup.
<select class="weightMenu" title="Bold options available">
<option value="200" style="font-weight:200">B</option>
<option value="300" style="font-weight:300">B</option>
</select>
The goal is to use native HTML and CSS. No plug-ins.
Although your code works fine - you should move the styles to the CSS rather than inline styling. Note - i made the font weights greater to show the differences better.
.weightMenu option:nth-child(1) {
font-weight:400;
}
.weightMenu option:nth-child(2) {
font-weight:700;
}
.weightMenu option:nth-child(3) {
font-weight:900;
}
<select class="weightMenu" title="Bold options available">
<option value="200">A</option>
<option value="300">B</option>
<option value="400">C</option>
</select>
Using bigger font weight may solve this issue.
This is because lower values for font-weight looks the same.
<select class="weightMenu" title="Bold options available">
<option value="400" style="font-weight:400">A</option>
<option value="700" style="font-weight:700">B</option>
<option value="800" style="font-weight:800">B</option>
</select>
I have a select element which looks like this:
<div class="input-field container">
<select>
<option selected>Roboto</option>
<option>Kalam</option>
<option>Karma</option>
<option>Montserrat</option>
</select>
</div>
Now, for every one of them, I want to change the font family to what the actual inner html is, to give a preview of the font you're about to select.
But putting styles directly on the option doesn't work for me.
I found a solution targeting all options from css, however, that wouldn't enable me to achieve the wanted behaviour.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
I tried with CSS, but didn't seem to work.
You can use javascript to set the style same as the option's value with the style attribute:
document.querySelectorAll(".selectFont option").forEach(function(el){
el.style.fontFamily = el.value;
})
<div class="input-field container">
<select class="selectFont">
<option value="monospace" selected>monospace</option>
<option value="Arial" >Arial</option>
<option value="sans-serif" >sans-serif</option>
</select>
</div>
This is quite old, but I had the exact same problem - I also wanted to change the font family for text in materialize select options, but after much css manipulation I could not get it to work.
I finally found this answer by wahmal - if you add the class 'browser-default' to your select element, it will remove the materialize styling. You can then change the font family of the options. (That said, it won't look like a materialize element any longer if you do this.) Example:
<div>
<select class="browser-default" id="font-dropdown">
<option selected style="font-family: 'courier';">courier</option>
<option style="font-family: 'arial;'">arial</option>
<option style="font-family: 'Verdana;'">Verdana</option>
</select>
<label>Font</label>
</div>
I did not need !important to get it to work. Hope this helps someone.

I didn't find the default styling of the selectbox for sorting products i WooCommerce especially appealing. So i decided to change it with CSS. This only worked half-way.
Problem:
The select-element did accept my style changes, but the actual dropdown with options didn't. I simply would like to change the appearance of the dropdown with some css-changes.
This is what I want to achieve:http://jsfiddle.net/pioul/2wdgH/
...for this page: http://sandbox.inspirapress.com/kaizen/butikk/
This is the general markup I have to work with:
<form class="woocommerce-ordering">
<select>
<option></option>
<option></option>
<option></option>
</select>
</form>
The js and css files(jquery.simpleselect.js/css) seem to enqueue correctly in header and footer. I'm not quite sure about the inline script i the footer though...
I've now tried just about everything. Please help! :)
