# Modify Dropdown HTML Output

* Hello
* Great plugin so far! Couple of questions about modifying the output of the dropdowns.
* 1. I’d like to remove the label all together rather than simply not giving it
content.
* 2. I’m using a perhaps unusual approach to my dropdown stylings. I have a DIV
with a specific class on it that wraps around the select. I also create an INPUT
text field that I can style like the rest of my inputs, and then have the actual
SELECT absolutely positioned behind this INPUT. I then use some JS to open the
SELECT when the INPUT is clicked.
* How can I accomplish getting the correct DIV I need, as well as adding the additional
INPUT inside that DIV?
* 3. I’d also like to hide some of the Taxonomies on the frontend, while still
having the ability to use them in the functionality.
* Example: example.com/post_type/tax_term1 Hide tax_term1 dropdown and only show
tax_term2 dropdown
* Any help is appreciated.

* Hi,
* Thank you! I’ll attempt to help you out as best I can 🙂
* 1. Easiest would probably be to just hide the label with CSS. It’s also good
for screen readers and such to keep the labels machine readable (hidden but not
removed).
* 2. Are you sure you cannot use select2 and restyle that? It uses a similar approach.
If not, your best bet is to use the action hooks `beautiful_actions_before_select`
and `beautiful_actions_after_select` to add content before and after the divs
wrapping the selects.
* 3. See my answer in your other post. Best way is to just hide them with CSS.

* Great! I’ll check out modifying select2, but will likely just disable and try
to use the actions.
* On that subject, you might want to update the filters/actions section of the
plugin page to show these actions, as they are not listed.
* Thanks.

* Best of luck!
* I am aware the section is not updated. I’m working on a separate proper documentation
website but it’s hard to find the time 🙂
