The select menu is based on a native select element, which is hidden from view and replaced with a custom-styled select button that matches the look and feel of the jQuery Mobile framework. The select menu is ARIA-enabled and keyboard accessible on the desktop as well. View the data- attribute reference to see all the possible attributes you can add to selects.

By default, the framework leverages the native OS options menu to use with the custom button. When the button is clicked, the native OS menu will open. When a value is selected and the menu closes, the custom button's text is updated to match the selected value.

Selectmenu Widget | jQuery Mobile API Documentation

To add a select menu to your page, start with a standard select element populated with a set of option elements. Set the for attribute of the label to match the ID of the select so they are semantically associated.

It's possible to accessibly hide the label if it's not desired in the page layout, but we require that it is present in the markup for semantic and accessibility reasons.

The framework will find all select elements and automatically enhance them into select menus, no need to apply a data-role attribute.

This will produce a basic select menu. To create a grouped set of select inputs, first add select and a corresponding label. Because the label element will be associated with each individual select input, we recommend wrapping the selects in a fieldset element that has a legend which acts as the combined label for the grouped inputs. Select inputs can also be used for grouped sets with more than one related selections.

Note that browsers without support for display: The select menu plugin will auto initialize on any page that contains a select menu, no need for a data-role attribute in the markup.

However, you can directly call the select menu plugin on any selector, just like any normal jQuery plugin:. You can specify any jQuery Mobile button data- attribute on a select element, too.

In this example, we're setting the theme, icon and inline properties:. The data-overlay-theme attribute can be added a select element to set the color of the overlay layer that the dialog-based custom select menus and the outer border of the smaller custom menus.

By default, the content block colors for swatch A will be used for the overlays.

For the sake of advanced styling, the framework also offers a method of generating custom menus from existing select menu markup. You can optionally use custom-styled select menus instead of the native OS menu.

The custom menu supports disabled options and multiple selection whereas native mobile OS support for both is inconsistent , adds an elegant way to handle placeholder values, and restores missing functionality on certain platforms such as optgroup support on Android.
