Angular select with images

Question

THE SITUATION:

I need to insert flags inside the language select. I have searched in Google and StackOverflow but the solutions founded are not work

Answer 1

this is impossible with a native select element,

therfore, you need to design a selectbox using other html elements & css,

try this out:

var app = angular.module('app',[]);

//app.directive('appDirective', function() {});
//app.factory('appService', function() {});

function AppCtrl($scope) {
	$scope.obj={language_selected : {'name':'Choose a language'}};
    $scope.language_list = [{'name': 'english', 'url': 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stevenrskelton/flag-icon/master/png/16/country-4x3/gb.png'},{'name': 'italian', 'url': 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stevenrskelton/flag-icon/master/png/16/country-4x3/it.png'}];
    
}

.select_list{
    background-color: #fff;
    border: 1px solid #b3b3b3;
    cursor: pointer;
    height: 21px;
    line-height: 21px;
    padding: 3px 5px;
    position: relative;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 250px;
}
.select_list:after{
    content:"▼";
    position:absolute;
    right:3px;
    color:#b3b3b3;
}
.select_list > .options{
    display:none;
    position:absolute;
    top:100%;
    left:-1px;
    width:100%;
    border:1px solid #666;
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
}

.select_list.active > .options{
    display:block;
}

.select_list > span, .select_list > .options li {
    background-position: 5px center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    padding-left: 30px;
    list-style:none;
}

.select_list > .options li:hover {
    background-color:#eee;
}

    {{obj.language_selected.name}}
    

        
{{language.name}}
