I have select2 customized via css with its general classes and ids.
Now, I'm trying to customize a specific class that will be provided to select2 and then apply in css to it.
My issue: is NOT the select per say but the drop of it ( the div with the class select2-drop ) that is appended to the body, how can i access that one?
I've already tried:
$(".element").select2({
minimumResultsForSearch: -1,
containerCssClass : "error"
}
);
but the class error
is not inherited to that div.
UPDATE:
This is the graphic element i'm talking about ( the options area ):
And this is the code in the inspected where i want to add that specific class, so i can play with it in CSS:
UPDATE: jsfiddle
You can use dropdownCssClass
for adding class to the select2-drop
. I read whole plugin to understand what is going on. Finally, I found that option.
$(".jSelectbox").select2({
containerCssClass: "error",
dropdownCssClass: "test"
});
$(".jSelectbox").select2({
containerCssClass: "error",
dropdownCssClass: "test"
});

Jsfiddle
containerCssClass
works if you include select2.full.js
. Full version has this option
It will depend on the version of select2 that you are using.
The html structure changed in one of the versions.
Here is Fiddle example:
https://jsfiddle.net/LpjcqbLu/
I just put the 'error' class on the select box.
.error + .select2-container,
.error + .select2-container + .select2-container .select2-dropdown {
border: 3px solid red !important;
}
In earlier versions, the dropdown was not close to the select box (in the dom), so you would have to do a javascript solution to apply the error class directly.
It's possible to make it in another way - via data-* of select2
- (if don't want to add select2.full.js
). Use like it:
var select2 = $(".element").select2({/* Select2 Opts */});
Ok. Now push var select2
to console ( for understanding) like:
console.log($(select2).data('select2'));
You will see something like this:
e {$element: init(1), id: "select2-....", options: e, listeners: Object, dataAdapter: d…}
$container: init(1)
$dropdown: init(1) <-- what you need!
$element: init(1)
$results: init(1)
....
Ok, now just add specified class(-es) to select2's dropdown
in the same way:
select2.data('select2').$dropdown.addClass("...");
Also, via $(select2).data('select2')
you have access to others select2 elements (container, etc.).
