jQuery Pretty Dropdowns

Pretty Dropdowns is a simple, lightweight jQuery plugin that converts <select> drop-down menus into "pretty" menus that you can style using CSS. As an extra bonus, it does its best to keep the menu options within the viewport.

Getting Started

Step 1: Link the required files

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/prettydropdowns.css">
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery.prettydropdowns.js"></script>

You have complete control over the look and feel of the drop-down menu by modifying prettydropdowns.css. It is recommended to load the JavaScript files at the bottom just before the closing </body> tag if possible.

Step 2: Call the .prettyDropdown() function

Make sure this comes after the two required JavaScript files from Step 1 are loaded.

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('select').prettyDropdown();
});
</script>
