Dropdown

Dropdown for selecting an item from a larger set

Dropdown sizes

This is the default size for dropdowns.

Large

<label class="tp-label" for="example-size-large">Select a state</label>
<select id="example-size-large" value="ca" class="tp-select">
    <option value="ny">New York</option>
    <option value="ca">California</option>
    <option value="tn">Tennessee</option>
    <option value="fl">Florida</option>
</select>

Small

The tp-select--small class renders a smaller dropdown.

<label class="tp-label" for="example-size-small">Select a state</label>
<select id="example-size-small" value="ca" class="tp-select tp-select--small">
    <option value="ny">New York</option>
    <option value="ca">California</option>
    <option value="tn">Tennessee</option>
    <option value="fl">Florida</option>
</select>

Widths

By default, the dropdown renders as an inline-block element. Its width is determined by the option with the longest text.

The tp-select--full class can be used to set the width to 100%.

Full width

<select value="ca" class="tp-select tp-select--full">
    <option value="ny">New York</option>
    <option value="ca">California</option>
    <option value="tn">Tennessee</option>
    <option value="fl">Florida</option>
</select>

Disabled selects

The disabled attribute visually and functionally disables the dropdown.

<label class="tp-label tp-label--disabled" for="example-disabled">Select a state</label>
<select id="example-disabled" value="ca" disabled class="tp-select">
    <option value="ny">New York</option>
    <option value="ca">California</option>
    <option value="tn">Tennessee</option>
    <option value="fl">Florida</option>
</select>

Dropdown with an error

The tp-select--bad-news class can be used to visually represent an error.

This prop only changes the dropdown’s color. It should be used alongside an error message that helps users advance through the form.

<label class="tp-label tp-label--bad-news" for="example-disabled">Select a state</label>
<select id="example-disabled" value="ca" class="tp-select tp-select--bad-news">
    <option value="ny">New York</option>
    <option value="ca">California</option>
    <option value="tn">Tennessee</option>
    <option value="fl">Florida</option>
</select>
