Topic: MaterialSelect label not showing if container has a background color

Legay free asked 5 years ago


Expected behavior

Select box's label should be visible regardless of its container's background color and depth.

Actual behavior

The select box's default value has a negative z-index, which I'm guessing is done to allow click-throughs. This is a problem whenever the control is placed in a container with a background color, and makes it usefulness very limited.

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)

Our fix is to override the label's CSS properties as follows:

.select-wrapper + label { z-index: auto !important; pointer-events: none !important; }

Hi, same issue here The version 4.7.7 is not available in the Snippet creation form so the bug cannot be reproduced there The behavior can be reproduced with just these lines :

<div class="card mb-5">
    <h4 class="card-title">MdSelect 4.7.7</h4>
    <select class="mdb-select md-form" searchable="Search here..">
        <option value="" disabled >Choose your country</option>
        <option value="1">USA</option>
        <option value="2">Germany</option>
        <option value="3" selected="selected">France</option>
        <option value="4">Poland</option>
        <option value="5">Japan</option>
    </select>
    <label class="mdb-main-label">Label example</label>
</div>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('.mdb-select').materialSelect();
    });
</script>
