This is what I have actually:
<label class="select">
<select name="email" id="email">
<option>aaaa</option>
<option>aaaa</option>
<option>aaaa</option>
<option>aaaa</option>
<option>aaaa</option>
<option>aaaa</option>
</select>
</label>
.cforms select {
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
}
.select {
position:relative;
display: -moz-inline-stack;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
zoom: 1;
*display: inline;
margin-top:40px;
}
.select:after {
content: "\f0dc";
font-family: FontAwesome;
color: #000;
padding:8px;
position:relative;
right:35px;
top:0px;
background:red;
z-index:-1;
width:10%;
line-height:10%;
}
Actually, no arrows appears near my select.
Could you please help me with this.
I searched on the web for examples, but I can't make it works.
Thanks.
To add icons in select option text we have to use the bootstrap-select plugin, which is a great plugin for customizing plain HTML select with some great customization options using bootstrap style. With this plugin, we can style the select element with only simple data attributes or initialize with Javascript.
The font-awesome icon can be placed by using the fa prefix before the icon's name. Example: In this example, we will take a form where the input field is necessary. After that, we will place the font-awesome icon inside the input field. We will use the CDN link to use the font-awesome icons.
