Topic: Is it possible to use a flag icon in a select option with text

jimscottjr free asked 4 years ago


Expected behavior

I would like to view a flag icon along with text in a select drop down option

Actual behavior

Flag icons do not show in a select drop down option

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)

Something like this:

<option value='+1' selected ><i class='us flag'></i> US (+1)</option>

Would be great, if it worked. I guess, that dropdowns for language or country selection are a very common thing.

Best,

Hello belu,

Unfortunately, this is not supported yet, but as long as it seems valuable functionality to have, I created an appropriate feature request. Thank you for your question.

Regards, Marcin

Hi @jimscottjr,

You can use icons in Select in this way:

<option value="1" data-fas="star">Option 1</option>

But unfortunately it will not work with flags.

Best,
