MDB Select Style

Topic: MDB Select Style

ashleyww93 free asked 7 years ago

Hi, Could someone tell me how I can get the MDB Select Style (just the unopened control) without calling the initialization?There are way too many issues with the MDB Select not aligning, or not updating when a new option is added or selected via Javascript for it to be usable.I am using this in a Cordova mobile application, so the <options> do not need to be styled.Thanks

Thanks for your help, but I figure out the icon issue myself. The correct css would be:

.md-form .prefix ~ select {
 margin-left: 3rem;
 width: 92%;
 width: -webkit-calc(100% - 3rem);
 width: calc(100% - 3rem);
}

Hi,
Now, I can only provide you this select without JS:
CSS:
<pre>.md-select {
 background-color: transparent;
 border: none;
 border-bottom: 1px solid #bdbdbd;
 border-radius: 0;
 outline: 0;
 height: 2.1rem;
 width: 100%;
 font-size: 1rem;
 -webkit-box-shadow: none;
 box-shadow: none;
 -webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
 box-sizing: content-box;
 -webkit-transition: all .3s;
 transition: all .3s;
 }
 .md-select:active {
 border-bottom: 1px solid #4285F4;
 -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #4285F4;
 box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #4285F4;
 }</pre>
HTML:
<pre><div class="md-form mt-5">
 <select name="options" id="select" class="browser-default md-select form-control">
 <option value="1">Option 1</option>
 <option value="2">Option 2</option>
 <option value="3">Option 3</option>
 <option value="4">Option 4</option>
 <option value="5">Option 5</option>
 </select>
 <label class="active" for="form6">Choose your option</label>
 </div></pre>
Also, this our pretty material select needs javascript code and we can't recreate it in 100% pure CSS now.
Best, 
Marta

This is very close to perfect! Thank you. As you can see in this screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/VdR44 The label isn't positioned correctly, and the doesn't respect the prefix icon. Please advise.

ashleyww93 free commented 7 years ago

Actually, in my case, the label isn't needed. I just need the icon space to be respected.

Hi, could you provide any demo of your project with the material select? I'd like to see what is exactly wrong with this. Best, Marta

ashleyww93 free commented 7 years ago

I can't right now as I don't have access to the source however, I can tell you this: If you do $("myMDBSelect").selectedIndex = 1; it does NOT update, this is a critical feature for me, and because I am using this in a tablet application that will change the selected indexes many times per minute, destroying and reinitialising the MDB select is not an option for me. Therefore all I want is the CSS used to make the Material Design Select, and use it without overriding the default properties of the HTML 5 select control. I don't need any of the additional features, just the design. For clarification, you can see it done here: https://codepen.io/jonnitto/details/OVmvPB with pure CSS (No javascript) this is exactly what I want but with the MDB style, not some other package. I hope this helps you fix my issue.

Hi, is the ozcanarslan solution fine for you? Best, Marta

ashleyww93 free commented 7 years ago

Hi. Unfortunately not, I need a touchscreen friendly design (its why I purchased pro to support you), however when I do "$('.mdb-select').material_select();" many things like updating the selected option via javascript no longer work (They DO work with identical code with browser-default enabled). All I want is the Material Style without breaking standard HTML 5. Also, im hoping that this will fix my other issue of having the Select next to a prefix icon like so " " that also doesn't work correctly.

I think you want this;
<pre class="code-toolbar language-markup"><code class=" language-markup">
<label>Default Select</label>
<select class="browser-default">
 <option value="" disabled selected>Choose your option</option>
 <option value="1">Option 1</option>
 <option value="2">Option 2</option>
 <option value="3">Option 3</option>
</select>

</code><a href="https://mdbootstrap.com/javascript/material-select/#default">https://mdbootstrap.com/javascript/material-select/#default</a></pre>

I think you want this;


<label>Default Select</label>
<select class="browser-default">
    <option value="" disabled selected>Choose your option</option>
    <option value="1">Option 1</option>

</select>

No, this gives you the browser default. I want the Material Design without css style without it changing how the control works.
