Customize the native <select>
s with custom CSS that changes the element’s initial appearance.
Default
Custom <select>
menus need only a custom class,.form-select
to trigger the custom styles. Custom styles are limited to the <select>
’s initial appearance and cannot modify the <option>
s due to browser limitations.
<select class="form-select" aria-label="Default select example"><option selected>Open this select menu</option><option value="1">One</option><option value="2">Two</option><option value="3">Three</option></select>
Sizing
Set heights using classes like .form-control-lg
and .form-control-sm
.
<select class="form-select form-select-lg mb-3" aria-label=".form-select-lg example"><option selected>Open this select menu</option><option value="1">One</option><option value="2">Two</option><option value="3">Three</option></select><select class="form-select form-select-sm" aria-label=".form-select-sm example"><option selected>Open this select menu</option><option value="1">One</option><option value="2">Two</option><option value="3">Three</option></select>
The multiple
attribute is also supported:
<select class="form-select" multiple aria-label="multiple select example"><option selected>Open this select menu</option><option value="1">One</option><option value="2">Two</option><option value="3">Three</option></select>
As is the size
attribute:
<select class="form-select" size="3" aria-label="size 3 select example"><option selected>Open this select menu</option><option value="1">One</option><option value="2">Two</option><option value="3">Three</option></select>

boolean attribute on a select to give it a grayed out appearance and remove pointer events.
