is it possible to add or inside an tag? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can do it using this custom select input

Reference: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_custom_select

var x, i, j, selElmnt, a, b, c;
x = document.getElementsByClassName("custom-select");
for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
  selElmnt = x[i].getElementsByTagName("select")[0];
  a = document.createElement("DIV");
  a.setAttribute("class", "select-selected");
  a.innerHTML = selElmnt.options[selElmnt.selectedIndex].innerHTML;
  a2 = document.createElement("SPAN");
  a2.setAttribute("class", "square-box");
  a2.setAttribute("style", "background-color: " + selElmnt.options[selElmnt.selectedIndex].getAttribute("COLOR"));
  a.appendChild(a2);
  x[i].appendChild(a);
  b = document.createElement("DIV");
  b.setAttribute("class", "select-items select-hide");
  for (j = 0; j < selElmnt.length; j++) {
    c = document.createElement("DIV");
    c.innerHTML = selElmnt.options[j].innerHTML;
    d = document.createElement("SPAN");
    d.setAttribute("class", "square-box");
    d.setAttribute("style", "background-color: " + selElmnt.options[j].getAttribute("COLOR"));
    c.appendChild(d);
    c.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
      var y, i, k, s, h;
      s = this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("select")[0];
      h = this.parentNode.previousSibling;
      for (i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
        if (s.options[i].innerText == this.innerText) {
          s.selectedIndex = i;
          h.innerHTML = this.innerHTML;
          y = this.parentNode.getElementsByClassName("same-as-selected");
          for (k = 0; k < y.length; k++) {
            y[k].removeAttribute("class");
          }
          this.setAttribute("class", "same-as-selected");
          break;
        }
      }
      h.click();
    });
    b.appendChild(c);
  }
  x[i].appendChild(b);
  a.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    closeAllSelect(this);
    this.nextSibling.classList.toggle("select-hide");
    this.classList.toggle("select-arrow-active");
  });
}

function closeAllSelect(elmnt) {
  var x, y, i, arrNo = [];
  x = document.getElementsByClassName("select-items");
  y = document.getElementsByClassName("select-selected");
  for (i = 0; i < y.length; i++) {
    if (elmnt == y[i]) {
      arrNo.push(i)
    } else {
      y[i].classList.remove("select-arrow-active");
    }
  }
  for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
    if (arrNo.indexOf(i)) {
      x[i].classList.add("select-hide");
    }
  }
}
document.addEventListener("click", closeAllSelect);

  </select>
</div>

Answer 2

No. According to MDN, this is what is allowed:

Permitted content: Text with eventually escaped characters (like é)

Answer 3

No. To achieve that you can try this: Use a div to show the selected item and put a div or a button inside it like a drop-down button. When the button is clicked it shows another div containing all your options.

A little bit complex so not necessary to achieve that effect just to make it look pretty

Answer 4

2019 UPDATE

This solution doesn't work anymore.

Checked in latest Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

---

It is possible to put a red circle after the text - http://jsfiddle.net/V8cvQ/

option:after {
    content: " ";
    height: 5px;
    width: 5px;
    background: #c00;
    border-radius: 5px;
    display: inline-block;
}

...

UPDATE

To have different color dots

HTML

<select>
    <option> select </option>
    <option class="red"> one </option>
    <option class="green"> two </option>
    <option class="blue"> three </option>
</select>

CSS

option:after {
    content: " ";
    height: 5px;
    width: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    display: inline-block;
}

option.red:after { background: #c00; }
option.green:after { background: #0c0; }
option.blue:after { background: #00c; }

DEMO

Answer 5

Nope, not possible. Or not valid at least.

Answer 6

You can replace your Options with JS plugin:

HTML:

<h3>multiSelect = false</h3>
<div id="combo1" class="combo"></div><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<button id="get1">get1</button>&nbsp;
<button id="set1">set1</button>

JS:

$(function(){
var dd = [];
for(var i=1;i<=4; i++)
    dd.push({ code: i + '', name: 'Employee ' + i });
var cfg = {
    keyField: 'code',
    displayField: 'name',
    multiSelect: false,
    width: 200,
    boxWidth: 200,
    cols : [{
        field: 'code', width: '30%'
    },{
        field: 'name', width: '70%'
    }],
    data: dd
};
var cfg1 = $.extend({}, cfg);
var cb1 = $('#combo1').mac('combo', cfg1);
$('#get1').click(function(){
    alert(cb1.selected);
});
$('#set1').click(function(){
    cb1.select(2);
});

});
