Key points

By default, when you integrate a select field into a Webflow form, you will see a ↓ (downward arrow) icon that "you cannot" remove.

Unless.... you include a little bit of custom code 😉

Discover 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 into it
<style>
.w-select {    
  -webkit-appearance: none;    
  -moz-appearance: none;
}
</style>

And there you have it! The default icon is now hidden ✅

You can now add a custom arrow, created "from scratch" using the designer interface of Webflow.
