How To Capitalize ONLY The First Letter Of An HTML Option Element Using CSS?
text-transform: capitalize does not work in this case because the text is already uppercase. Thi
Solution 1:
In Chrome and Firefox, you can style an option
element if its select
has a size greater than 1.
You can exploit this as follows:
select {
height: 1.4em; /* show only one option when not focused */
}
select:focus {
height: 100%; /* show all options when focused */
}
option {
text-transform: lowercase; /* change to lowercase */
padding-right: 2em; /* the select's width is based on width of its longest non-transformed ... */
/* option. padding ensures that option is completely visible */
display: none; /* hide all options by default (see below) */
}
option::first-letter {
text-transform: uppercase; /* change first letter to uppercase */
}
option:checked, select:focus option {
display: block; /* show selected option, or show all options when the select is focused */
}
<select size="4">
<option selected>NOW IS THE TIME</option>
<option>for all good men</option>
<option>tO Come To tHe aid</option>
<option>of the party</option>
</select>
It won't quite act like a normal select box, and Chrome has a strange behavior in that the selected option will have a gray background. Can't figure out how to prevent that.
