I am using the Select2 plugin to add the search feature to my dropdowns. However, I want the font style of these drop downs to be set to the same font as my other fields: font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
My 'Select' HTML:
<label>Department</label>
<select class='js-example-basic-single' name="department" id="department" required>
<option value="Dep 1">Dep 1 </option>
<option value="Dep 2">Dep 2 </option> etc.....
</select>
My JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".js-example-basic-single").select2({
placeholder: "Please Select an option",
allowClear: true
});
});
I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, but couldn't seem to find one.
select2js provide different classes and id selectors for different sections of the Select HTML tag.
For specific changing the Select OPTION font-size, we can use the following class selector to change the same acc to our requirement.
.select2-results__options{
font-size:14px !important;
}
the only css class I needed to change (for single-selects) was:
.select2-selection__rendered {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
In my case, I wanted to change the background color of the Select2. So what I did is found the select2 class name that controls that feature. I added my desired color to the css of the same class name affecting that feature and made sure that updated css loaded after the select2 stylesheets. I did some minor tweeks the same way to the jquery themes.
I stumbled across this feature this morning and it worked! It uses containerCssClass.
<style type="text/css">
.myFont {
font-size:x-small;
}
</style>
<select id="m"><option>one</option><option>two</option></select>
<select id="n"><option>three</option><option>four</option></select>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#m").select2({ containerCssClass: "myFont" });
$("#n").select2();
</script>
The first box had tiny font, and the second one had regular font.
He also added the dropdownCssClass option.
<select class='js-example-basic-single' name="department" id="department" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" required>
<option value="Dep 1">Dep 1 </option>
<option value="Dep 2">Dep 2 </option> etc.....
</select>
