Topic: Replace Caret in Bootstrap Select Field
Is there a way to replace the default Material Bootstrap Select Drop Down Caret? I'd like to replace it with something that looks a little nicer but all code within the html select is generated.
Any help would be appreciated.
This is the code I currently have for the select:
<select class="mdb-select" id="category" name="category">
<option value="" selected>Product Category</option>
<?php echo($selectCat); ?>
</select>

Hi,
Did you try to use class 'caret' to style that caret dropdown and load from php?
Best,

Hi,
I'm not sure what you mean. From what I can see this caret and the dropdown gets loaded via mdb javascript after the page has loaded.
Anything I do in css or php is ignored or overwritten by the javascript.
Unless I'm misunderstanding?
Thanks
Paul

Yea, I know that caret is styling in js. But did you try to use class 'caret', to style your carret in css with !important?
Like that?
