SOLVED: select element not respecting grid cell- heights gonna height
Edit: Heights will cause overflow have you heard??
it can’t be a block size of 100% when it has a sibling taking half
##New Problem:
i have html {color-scheme: dark } and if iset the select background-color to transparent, the dropdown is white and i cant see the options. is there a way to make the trigger button/box transparent but see the dropdown options?
I havent yet thrown this in a codepen but i am puzzled why this standard select element when applying block-size: 100% escapes outside of its parent. I couldn’t find anything in the dev tools styles that would account for this.
The relevant html is as follows:
-form
-fieldset > input + label (*5)
-fieldset > select + label
-fieldset.span-2 > textarea + label
-fieldset.span-2 > checkbox + label
-button
the relevant css:
as you can see when given a block-size of 100%, it escapes out of its fieldset parent (the red outline)? why?? I know i will probably have to wipe all the styles anyway and build a custom select element but I am so confused as to why it can escape outside of its parent/cell.
