Select.

Customize the native <select>s with custom CSS that changes the element’s initial appearance. Click here

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

You may also choose from small and large custom selects to match our similarly sized text inputs.

The multiple attribute is also supported:


<select class="form-select form-select-lg mb-3" aria-label="Large 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>

<select class="form-select form-select-sm" aria-label="Small 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>

<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>

Disabled

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


<select class="form-select" aria-label="Disabled select example" disabled>
  <option selected>Open this select menu</option>
  <option value="1">One</option>
  <option value="2">Two</option>
  <option value="3">Three</option>
</select>
