So, with Mozilla and WebKit I have a half-decent solution replacing the arrow on the select
box using appearance: none;
and having a parent element.
In IE for the most part I disabled this feature. For IE10 I can't actually disable it since my conditional comments don't actually work.
Here is my markup:
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <html class="ie6"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]> <html class="ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]> <html class="ie8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]> <html class="ie9"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if (gt IE 9)]> <html class="ie10plus"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if !(IE)]><!--> <html> <!--<![endif]-->
The class ie10plus
doesn't actually make it's way to the markup.
I also feel like there might be a legitimate way to replace the arrow in IE. I am not opposed to actually fixing the problem. appearance: none;
however does not work. So what can I do here?
still not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but this will detect and add a class for ie10:
<!--[if !IE]><!--<script> if (/*@cc_on!@*/false) { document.documentElement.className+=' ie10plus'; } </script>!--<![endif]-->
Internet Explorer 10 doesn't support conditional comments, so you'll have to do something else. One solution is to sniff the user agent with JavaScript and add the class yourself:
You should probably add this in the
<head>
so that you don't have a flash of unstyled content, but that might not be a problem.Also, if you're using jQuery, you might want to do something like this:
If you want to check for IE10 or above, copy-paste the
getInternetExplorerVersion
function from this Microsoft page and then change theif
to something like this:I had an issue with a hidden drop down arrow on the site on IE 10 and 11 that I am working which uses Zurb Foundation. There was a line on the _form.scss which had
I removed it and the dropdown arrow started showing normally on all broswers. Thank You Jonathan for your answer here. This helped me after searching a lot for a solution.
But!, If we want to add width, we can not do so as:
display:none
So
Avoid browser-sniffing and conditional comments (which aren't supported as of Internet Explorer 10), and instead take a more standard approach. With this particular issue you should be targeting the
::-ms-expand
pseudo element:
