I want to clear the previously selection dropdown option that was selected from within a javascript function. How can I do this

Hi Eeesbk,

To restart our material select you can use attribute destroy: true, like this:

   $('.mdb-select').materialSelect({
        destroy: true
   });
   $('.mdb-select').materialSelect();

This way whole select will be initialized again and all changes that user caused will be reverted.

Best Regards, Piotr

Hi there Ken, Thanks for reaching out onto our forum. There seem to be numerous ways to proceed, depending on what specifically you mean by 'unselect'. In general, .material_select() function hides the select html element from sight, and what you're clicking on (the options) are span elements, children to lis within a newly-created, js-initiated ul element. And so, what selecting is in that context is granting these parent li elements the .active and .selected classes. The easiest way to unselect in that sense (aka not getting them selected) would be to create a function removing the classes right when they're added, like so: var select = $('.mdb-select'); select.material_select(); select.on("change", function(){ $(".active").removeClass(); }); Please let us know whether I read you correctly. With Best Regards, Kuba
