How to remove the default down arrow icon in the select field of a webflow form (Custom Code).

Key points to remember

By default, when you embed a select field in a webflow form, you have a ↓ (down arrow) icon, which "you can't" remove.

Except.... if you integrate a small piece of custom code 😉

Find out in this tutorial how to hide this default icon, so you can add your own 100% customizable dropdown icon.

Custom code to hide the default icon of a webflow select field

  1. Add an HTML embed code editor element
  2. Integrate the custom css code below in it
<style>
.w-select {    
  -webkit-appearance: none;    
  -moz-appearance: none;
}
</style>
select field webflow with arrow bottom icon
The ↓ icon is still present
Custom code to hide the arrow icon in a select field
The ↓ icon is no longer present

And that's it! The default icon is now hidden ✅

It is now possible to add a custom arrow, created "from scratch" from the webflow designer interface.
