I have been using bootstrap multiselect in my web app for about 9 months now. I've been styling the width of the dropdown to be 100% like this:
ul.multiselect-container {
width: 100% !important;
}
.dropdown-menu {width:100% !important;}
I just got the new version because it had an extra configuration option (onDeselectAll). Now the dropdown width is not 100%. Looking at the styling in the elements console it looks like my css should still work:
We can see in the photo of the css that .dropdown-menu {width:100% !important}
is being overridden but I'm not sure what by.
Any ideas?
I used the buttonWidth
parameter that .multiselect
gives you similar to David Stutz. However, I put the '100%'
right in the parameter.
<body>
<select id="multiselect" multiple="multiple">
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
<option value="3">Option 3</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#multiselect').multiselect({
buttonWidth: '100%'
});
//caret is in the middle, switch it to right
$(".caret").css('float', 'right');
$(".caret").css('margin', '8px 0');
});
</script>
</body>
The below minimal example is working fine, so Bootstrap Multiselect is not override the styling. But note that in your case .dropdown-menu
and .multiselect-container
refer to the very same elements (the ul
, like in the example below. So applying the styling to both classes, like you did is not necessary and may cause what you see in the inspector.
