Remove border radius from Select tag in bootstrap 3
This seems like a trivial problem, but I can't figure it out.
On Bootstraps own website they have the Select example.
Looking at the code it looks like there's a border-radius of 4 on that select element.
My hope would be that changing that border-radius to 0 would then remove the border-radius from the select element, however, that's not the case - as seen in the picture below.
I've explored all the CSS that is changing that select element but none of it seems to remove the border radius.
Solution 1:
Here is a version that works in all modern browsers. The key is using appearance:none which removes the default formatting. Since all of the formatting is gone, you have to add back in the arrow that visually differentiates the select from the input. Note: appearance is not supported in IE.
Working example: https://jsfiddle.net/gs2q1c7p/
select:not([multiple]) {
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
background-position: right 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

</select>Based on Arno Tenkink's suggestion in the comments, here is an example using a svg instead of a png for the arrow icon.
select:not([multiple]) {
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
background-position: right 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="14" height="12" version="1"><path d="M4 8L0 4h8z"/></svg>');
padding: .5em;
padding-right: 1.5em
}
#mySelect {
border-radius: 0
}<select id="mySelect">
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
</select>Solution 2:
In addition to border-radius: 0, add -webkit-appearance: none;.
Solution 3:
I had the same issue and while user1732055's answer fixes the border, it removes the dropdown arrows. I solved this by removing the border from the select element and creating a wrapper span which has a border.
html:
<span class="select-wrapper">
<select class="form-control no-radius">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
</span>
css:
select.no-radius{
border:none;
}
.select-wrapper{
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 0px;
}

Solution 4:
You can use -webkit-border-radius: 0;. Like this:-
-webkit-border-radius: 0;
border: 0;
outline: 1px solid grey;
outline-offset: -1px;
This will give square corners as well as dropdown arrows. Using -webkit-appearance: none; is not recommended as it will turn off all the styling done by Chrome.
