Custom styling of the SELECT elements

The solution here is actually a workaround, trick. It works in a way that it dynamically adds an additional SPAN element positioned absolutely below the SELECT element. This SPAN has a custom graphic that we want to apply. SELECT element’s opacity is set to zero so it is not visible but it’s clickable. Since the SELECT element is not visible, what we see actually is the SPAN below. This solution doesn’t style the OPTION dropdown, only the default appearance of the SELECT element but considering the simplicity I believe that it is very applicable. Important thing to remember: this trick relies heavily on absolute positioning.

Style Guide – A responsive, proportional, nestable, 6-column grid framework

The framework is built around a combination of these three elements: container, fields, and region. The container class sets the max-width of the page and centers it horizontally. It also sets the left and right margins on small screens. The fields class defines horizontal divisions of the page. (They can be thought of as “rows”) The region class creates veritcal divisions of the page with defined sizes for containing content. (They can be thought of as “columns”)
