Got it! Here’s a quick guide on Bootstrap 5 Select Menus — styled dropdown selectors for forms.
?? Bootstrap 5 Select Menus
Bootstrap enhances native <select>
elements with consistent styling and sizing.
1. Basic Select Menu
<select class="form-select" aria-label="Default select example"> <option selected>Open this select menu</option> <option value="1">Option One</option> <option value="2">Option Two</option> <option value="3">Option Three</option></select>
Use
.form-select
on<select>
for Bootstrap styling.Always add
aria-label
or associate with a<label>
for accessibility.
2. Disabled Select
<select class="form-select" disabled> <option>Disabled select</option></select>
3. Sizing
Use sizing classes on .form-select
:
.form-select-sm
— smaller select.form-select-lg
— larger select
Example:
<select class="form-select form-select-lg" aria-label="Large select example"> ...</select>
4. Multiple Select
To enable multiple selections:
<select class="form-select" multiple aria-label="multiple select example"> <option value="1">Option One</option> <option value="2">Option Two</option> <option value="3">Option Three</option></select>
5. Custom Select with Label
<label for="selectExample" class="form-label">Example select</label><select id="selectExample" class="form-select"> <option selected>Choose an option</option> <option value="1">First</option> <option value="2">Second</option></select>
