Is there a way to force the dropdown direction of a select element in

  • 0

Is there a way to force the dropdown direction of a select element in HTML down?

At the moment we have a product display page, the select box appears below the halfway mark of the screen in a widescreen resolution and therefore makes the dropdown go up.

Is this possible? Thanks.

    Nope, this can’t be done with a standard select element.

    You would have to use a JavaScript based alternative.

    A cursory search doesn’t reveal any jQuery/JS based alternatives that explicitly offer setting the direction as an option, but I’m sure there is one out there that does it.
