I want to create a select that looks like a collection in Materialize CSS.
I know that in order to do something like that on plain HTML I need to use the size attribute.
<select id="someSelect" size="8">
<option value="3">Blabla</option>
<option value="4">Bla</option>
...
</select>
Howhever, when I add it, it doesn't change anything, and the select is still a dropdown and not a list.
How could I create a selectable list (only one selection at a time) in Materialize CSS?
EDIT:
bahman parsamanesh mentioned in his comment the usage of <div class="collection"> and <a> inside it, which is exactly I was looking for, but how could I handle it's onChange?

I want to hide part a dropdown list select option and then use the hidden part to filter the list. i.e. A list of names with a hidden location for each name. Then I can use Javascript to filter the list based on the location of the people. I tried the following:
<form>
<select>
<option value='x'> Visible Name <p hidden> Invisible Location</p></option>
</select>
</form>
However it's not allowing me to hide inside the option element. Is there a way to hide HTML here? I tried hidden and display:none, neither was working. Is there a way to do this?
you can't do that.
try this https://select2.org/ or https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/
Here is my current code:
<select [(ngModel)]="items">
<option *ngFor="let item of items" [ngValue]="item " {{item .symbol}} : {{item.companyName}}</option>
</select>
The problem is this is a dropdown that is not fully expanded by default. My goal is to have this list act similar to how Google has their search; A fully expanded list that updates based on the input.
I have the binding correct, but I can't seem to get the HTML correct to where it's always expanded and there is no empty entry for the first element.
Are the Select/Option tags the incorrect tags to use?
I can't find any other tags to use. Anything in Angular?
I don't know if natively you can have this feature inside a browser. But you can write one component to do this job. Basically, it'll have two parts, one input, and one panel with some help via Bootstrap.
<input type="text" class="form-control input-xs">
<ul class="dropdown-menu"></ul>
When you type in anything in the input, you can make the list of items displayed. After you select one item, the list can disappear. In terms of style, it'll be very similar to http://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/javascript/#dropdowns
Then you can wrap up everything inside an angular component. I know it's a long answer.
I want to ask about html dropdown menu. As we know, that option tag in html only support text. However, I need to create a drowp down menu that show list of image. I've searched for it. And I found several ways, including using css or jquery. However, that's not what I want. Here is, what I want to create:
<option value = blablabla><img src = "img/blbalba.txt"></option>
The code above is not working. Is there any sugestion to display dropdown menu like that?
Thank you for your help.
As You can't do that in plain HTML, but you can do it with JQuery.
Right now You can do like this
<select>
<option value="img1" style="background-image:url(images/img1.png);">image 1</option>
<option value="img2" style="background-image:url(images/img2.png);">image 2</option>
<option value="img3" style="background-image:url(images/img3.png);">image 3</option>
<option value="img4" style="background-image:url(images/img4.png);">image 4 </option>
</select>
Browsers will only render text inside a select tag, so, if you wan to use a selector that shows images instead of text, you cannot use a select you'll need to build your own selectable object.
That could be quite difficult to do. You can use different premade solutions that people on your situation developed before or try to reinvent the wheel.
Check this :)
A free light weight jQuery plugin that allows you to create a custom drop down with images and description.
What is so cool about this plugin!
Adds images and description to otherwise boring drop downs.
Allows JSON to populate the drop down options.
Converts your HTML select element to ddSlick.
Uses Minimum css and no external stylesheets to download.
Supports callback functions on selection.
Works as good even without images or description!

How can I put image next to the text in the select menu.
For example this is not working:
<select style="background-color:black; width:150px;color:white;">
<option style="background-image:url(images/english.png);">English</option>
</select>
This is not working. I want to have a little flag first and then name of the language.
The select element does not support that type of thing. It's meant to be a native control that's consistent wherever it's used. You can, however, whip up your own custom drop-down style menu.
Here's one I did (under the graph).Also, here's a jquery plugin that might make it easier for you.
Good luck!
I have a select menu like this:
<select name="mySelect">
<option value="250" selected="selected">250</option>
<option value="500">500</option>
<option value="1000">1000</option>
<option value="1500">1500</option>
</select>
It comes out looking different depending on OS and I would like it to have a different background. The problem is when I use a standard css background the arrow on the right of the select element remains visible.
select {
background: url(../images/bg_select.png);
}
I would also like to have different background colours when the select list has been opened. The default is often blue and white.
Edit: Looks like I'll have to use javascript. Are there any jQuery plugins to do this?
You may want to look at this: Cut & Paste DHTML Select menu. It uses Javascript to replace the select menu with custom HTML.
all a listener to the select and use jquery to trigger the class
add/remove classes should work fine
