Select

Description

A form element that lets users select a choice from a dropdown list.

Accessibilty Considerations

Never use a select option or placeholder as a replacement for an explicit label. Programmatically associate labels with select elements. The recommended method for most circumstances is to use the label element and an explicit association using the for and id attributes.

Label associated with <select> element


    <form action="">
      <select name="sample-input-dropdown" id="sample-input-dropdown" class="form-select">
        <option selected>Select your option</option>
        <option value="1">One</option>
        <option value="2">Two</option>
        <option value="3">Three</option>
      </select>
    </form>
