Use these modifiers with .bx--select class.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
.bx--select--inline |
Selector for applying inline select styles |
.bx--select--light |
Selector for applying light select styles |
The width of the inline select box should be the width of the default placeholder text + 16px/1rem of padding. There should be 10px of padding between the placeholder text and the caret.
Carbon Components provides HTML attributes and CSS to enable form validation for each input or control.
For example, here's a Select that provides a message if an option is not selected.
<div class="bx--form-item">
<div class="bx--select">
<select data-invalid id="select-id" class="bx--select-input"
>...</select
>
...
</div>
<svg
class="bx--select__arrow"
width="10"
height="5"
viewBox="0 0 10 5"
fill-rule="evenodd"
>
<path d="M10 0L5 5 0 0z"></path>
</svg>
<label for="select-id" class="bx--label">Select</label>
<div class="bx--form-requirement">Please select an option.</div>
</div>The bx--form-requirement element will be hidden until data-invalid attribute
gets added to the select child of bx--select. Validate the select on your
own and then use JavaScript to add the attribute if the select value is invalid.
