problem with <select> and :after with CSS in WebKit

Answer 1

This solution is similar to the one from sroy, but with css triangle instead of web font:

.select-wrapper {
  position: relative;
  width: 200px;
}
.select-wrapper:after {
  content: "";
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
  border-left: 5px solid transparent;
  border-right: 5px solid transparent;
  border-top: 6px solid #666;
  position: absolute;
  right: 8px;
  top: 8px;
  pointer-events: none;
}
select {
  background: #eee;
  border: 0 !important;
  border-radius: 0;
  -webkit-appearance:none;
  -moz-appearance:none;
  appearance:none;
  text-indent: 0.01px;
  text-overflow: "";
  font-size: inherit;
  line-height: inherit;
  width: 100%;
}
select::-ms-expand {
  display: none;
}
