Select

The browser built-in select dropdown, styled accordingly

The select class is a simple wrapper around the <select> HTML element, which gives the styling more flexibility and support for icons.

<div class="select">
  <select>
    <option>Select dropdown</option>
    <option>With options</option>
  </select>
</div>

Several modifiers are supported which affect:

the color
the size
the state

Multiple select #

You can style a multiple select dropdown, by using the is-multiple modifier, and by using the multiple HTML attribute.

<div class="select is-multiple">
  <select multiple size="8">
    <option value="Argentina">Argentina</option>
    <option value="Bolivia">Bolivia</option>
    <option value="Brazil">Brazil</option>

States #

Bulma styles the different states of the select element. Each state is available as a pseudo-class and a CSS class:

:hover and is-hovered
:focus and is-focused
:active and is-active

This allows you to obtain the style of a certain state without having to trigger it.

Normal

<div class="select">
  <select>
    <option>Select dropdown</option>
    <option>With options</option>
  </select>
</div>

Hover

<div class="select">
  <select class="is-hovered">
    <option>Select dropdown</option>
    <option>With options</option>
  </select>
</div>

Focus

<div class="select">
  <select class="is-focused">
    <option>Select dropdown</option>
    <option>With options</option>
  </select>
</div>

Loading

<div class="select is-loading">
  <select>
    <option>Select dropdown</option>
    <option>With options</option>
  </select>
</div>

With icons #

You can append the modifier on a control:

has-icons-left

You also need to add a modifier on the icon:

icon is-left since has-icons-left is used

The size of the select will define the size of the icon container.

<div class="control has-icons-left">
  <div class="select">
    <select>
      <option selected>Country</option>
      <option>Select dropdown</option>
      <option>With options</option>
    </select>
  </div>
  <div class="icon is-small is-left">
    <i class="fas fa-globe"></i>
  </div>
</div>

If the control contains an icon, Bulma will make sure the icon remains centered, no matter the size of the input or of the icon.

<div class="control has-icons-left">
  <div class="select is-small">
    <select>
      <option selected>Country</option>
      <option>Select dropdown</option>
      <option>With options</option>
    </select>
  </div>
  <span class="icon is-small is-left">
    <i class="fas fa-globe"></i>
  </span>
</div>

  <div class="select">
    <select>
      <option selected>Country</option>
      <option>Select dropdown</option>
