I am trying to style the select element and have had success so far, except I am trying to add an arrow to the right via the :after pseudo element and it doesn’t seem to want to work. Here is a CodePen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/Hftud
Any help would be great. Thanks.
So are you trying to replace the existing down arrow?
It’s probably not going to work…https://css-tricks.com/dropdown-default-styling/

Here is how I did it http://www.websitecodetutorials.com/code/jquery-plugins/jquery-customselect.php
Okay, that’s what I was afraid of. I was trying not to have to wrap it in a div, but I guess I have to to get an arrow. Thanks a lot guys.
