Bootstrap 5 selectpicker change background-color

The standard in our place is that every input field should be set to color lightgoldenyellow. I cannot set the background-color of selectpicker in Bootstrap 5.

This is my code:

I have also attached the bootstrap/jquery that I have used.

<div class="container" style="overflow:visible;">
        <select name="instructor_a" id="" style="background-color: lightgoldenyellow;"  class="selectpicker" data-live-search = "true" data-size="3" title="講師選択">
        <?php
            $query_instructor = "SELECT name_ FROM users
            where userlevel = '2'";

            $stmt_instructor = $pdo->prepare($query_instructor);
            //$stmt_interviewee->bindParam(":training_id", $training_id);
            $stmt_instructor->execute();

            $result_query_instructor = $stmt_instructor->fetchAll();

            foreach ($result_query_instructor as $instructors) {
                echo "<option value ='$instructors[name_]'";
                if($instructor_a === $instructors["name_"]) {
                    echo "selected";
                }
                echo">$instructors[name_]</option>";
            }

        ?>
        </select>
</div>

I have tried adding in-line style: style="background-color:lightgoldenyellow;" but no luck.

I have also tried adding a class in selectpicker such as class ="instructor-select", Then in my css file I included ".instructor-select {background-color:lightgoldenyellow; }" still no luck.

How should I override the bootstrap selectpicker style?

Solution

  • I guess your main problem was having used the wrong identifier for the color you wished to address. A valid color name close to what you used is actually lightgoldenrodyellow.

    Now having fixed that, what you need to style are:

    Plus it's worth nothing that, with no further stylings, when the <select> has the disabled attribute, the dropdown gets styled with a gray background and a a cursor disallowing any further interaction.

    Here's a full example (including a disabled dropdown):

    .bootstrap-select > .dropdown-toggle, /* dropdown box */
.bootstrap-select > .dropdown-menu li a, /* all dropdown options */
.bootstrap-select > .dropdown-toggle:focus, /* dropdown :focus */
.bootstrap-select > .dropdown-toggle:hover /* dropdown :hover */
{
  background-color: lightgoldenrodyellow;
}

/* dropdown - option selected - shown as the value of the dropdown */
.bootstrap-select > .dropdown-menu li.active a{  
  font-weight: bold;
  color: black;
}

/* dropdown - option selected - shown among the other available options */
.bootstrap-select > .dropdown-menu li a:active {
  color: red;
}
