I have dropdown in my HTML Page which has width more than 250px.
I need to change the dropdown font size so that the width gets reduced.
I tried using the font tag like below:
<font size='6'>
<select>
<option></option>
.
.
.
</select>
</font>
The above code didn't work.
When I tried reducing the width by hardcoding the value as width='50' it hides the full text of all the dropdown which becomes hard to select an particular option.
Suggest a solution so that width gets reduced and all the options visible in the dropdown.
Note: it should be compatible in IE8
To change the font size, just apply font-size:XXpx; css property:
<select style="font-size:6px;">
<option>option1</option>
<option>option2</option>
<option>option3</option>
</select>
Or, if you want to put it in your stylesheet:
select{
font-size:6px;
}
<select>
<option>option1</option>
<option>option2</option>
<option>option3</option>
</select>
Use CSS font-size Rule on your select-element
<select style="font-size: 6px">
<option>ABC</option>
<option>ABC</option>
<option>ABC</option>
<option>ABC</option>
</select>
Here's a Fiddle
You can use CSS for that.
Example: https://jsfiddle.net/9ddaexpz/
HTML:
<select id="myDropdown">
<option>foo</option>
<option>bar</option>
</select>
CSS:
#myDropdown
{
font-size: 6px;
}
try this simple method
external style sheet method
select{font-size:6px;}
<select>
<option>option1</option>
<option>option2</option>
<option>option3</option>
</select>
Inline style sheet method
<select style="font-size:6px">
<option>option1</option>
<option>option2</option>
<option>option3</option>
</select>
In select tag use the css style given below.
<select style="font-size:6px">
<option></option>
.
.
.
</select>

Tried a lot to change the background color of select option on hover but unable to do so please help me to find the solution.
select.rangs option:hover {
box-shadow: 0 0 10px 100px #ffea00 inset;}
option.rang:hover {
background: #ffea00 !important;}
<select id="order" name="order" title="order" class="form-control form-login__input-field label-error rangs">
<option class="rang" value="">Sort By</option>
<option class="rang" value="popular">Most popular</option>
<option class="rang" value="register_desc">Oldest First</option>
<option class="rang" value="register_asc">Newest First</option>
I want the background color to be changed on hover in chrome
You cannot change the background of the <option>, you can't set script or style inside option element. This is used to show only text inside option element no matter what text , style or scripts
The main property of option element is value that's why there is no need to add CSS on text inside <option>
You could only apply CSS on <select>:
select {
background: #ffea00;
}
Following code will help you. Run Code Snippet.
.rang:hover { background: #ffea00 !important;}
<select id="order" name="order" title="order" class="form-control form-login__input-field label-error rangs">
<option class="rang" value="">Sort By</option>
<option class="rang" value="popular">Most popular</option>
<option class="rang" value="register_desc">Oldest First</option>
<option class="rang" value="register_asc">Newest First</option>
</select>
I have the following HTML:
<select name="selectedEventTypeId">
<option value="1">meeting</option>
<option value="2" selected="" class="ololool">write contract</option>
</select>
And this CSS:
<style type="text/css">
.ololool {color:green}
</style>
However, the option doesn't display in green when the <select> is closed:
It only does when it's open:
I want the second <option> to be green in both views, open and closed. (But I don't want the first option to be displayed in green)
How can I make so?
Try this code
<style type="text/css">
.ololool {color:green}
.blacktext{color:black; }
</style>
<select name="selectedEventTypeId" onchange="this.className=this.options[this.selectedIndex].className" class="blacktext">
<option value="1" class="blacktext">meeting</option>
<option value="2" class="ololool">write contract</option>
</select>
I cant understand very well your question.
But i think that you need to add that class .ololool also to to make it all with the same style.
<select class="ololool">
<option value="2" selected class="ololool" >write contract</option>
</select>

Add -webkit-appearance:none
<select style="background:none;border:none; -webkit-appearance:none">
or add div around and give max width.
<div style="width:80px; overflow:hidden">
<select style="background:none;border:none; width:97px">
<option>A</option>
<option>B</option>
<option>C</option>
<option>D</option>
</select>
</div>

How to remove the arrow from a select element in Firefox
I want to give ListBox width in HTML5.
Please give me some idea.
You can style it as a regular input - all CSS properties applicable to it
DEMO
CSS
input[list] {
width: 300px;
}
HTML
<input type="text" list="browsers" />
<datalist id="browsers">
<option> Chrome </option>
<option> Firefox </option>
<option> IE9 </option>
</datalist>
You can try with
style="width:150px;"
CSS
#example {
width: 300px;
}
HTML
<select size="4" id="example" name="example">
<option selected>Fries</option>
<option>Drink</option>
<option>Pie</option>
<option>Salad</option>
<option>Shake</option>
</select>
For completeness and to show an actual HTML5 Listbox (no JS needed).
One of the items in the multiple select box is much longer than the others, is there a way to hack it to make the width of it smaller
<select size="1">
<option>item</option>
<option>item</option>
<option>item is really long</option>
<option>item</option>
</select>
You can do this with CSS, either in-line style or using a class.
With in-line style:
<select style="width: 50px;">
<option>item</option>
<option>item</option>
<option>item is really long</option>
<option>item</option>
</select>
Using a class:
<select class="narrow">
<option>item</option>
<option>item</option>
<option>item is really long</option>
<option>item</option>
</select>
And in your CSS file or embedded stylesheet:
.narrow {
width: 50px;
}
Of course, change 50px to whatever width you need.
You can set the width using CSS. If you add a class to the select tag, for instance 'foo', you can then add css:
select.foo {
width: 200px;
}
If you want to can use an inline style (not recommended though):
<select style="width: 200px";>
<option>...
</select>
Try this, works in FireFox but not in IE :
<STYLE type="text/css">
OPTION.shorter{ font-size:8px;}
</STYLE>
<select size="1">
<option>item</option>
<option>item</option>
<option class="shorter">item is really long</option>
<option>item</option>
</select>
