Topic: MDB Select Dropdown Validation

jerrytunin pro asked 5 years ago

Is there a way to do Select Dropdown validation? It appears that this field is skipped over when validating.

Edyta Dabrowska free answered 5 years ago

You can add any value ('default' for example) and use it to show the alert. Make sure that your select has browser-default class.

Then it shows 2 select drop downs. The html one and mdb's pseudo drop down.

Edyta Dabrowska free answered 5 years ago

Have you tried overwriting it with: select { display: block important!; }

jerrytunin pro answered 5 years ago

It appears that: select { display: none; } Breaks browser based "require". Is there a way to fix this?

jerrytunin pro answered 5 years ago

Yes, I understand that but how can having a blank value trigger the built-in alert that the field needs filled out?

Edyta Dabrowska free answered 5 years ago

Yes, it is. This is kind of like placeholder option so you can change this.

jerrytunin pro answered 5 years ago

The first default option is both disabled and selected with a value="". Any other value is acceptable.
