change background color of select2.js

Question

I used select2.js(3.4.5) for my previous project and now I need to make some changes into it. it's not possible to upgrade version of select2 now.

I need to change the background color of a select2 search box, I tried it but I can't please see my fiddle or snippet. I want background-color:red after user select option from select box.

I try to apply CSS all the elements using jquery

$('.select2-choices').attr("style",'background-color:#EA4335 !important'); $('.select2-choices > *').attr("style",'background-color:#EA4335 !important');

you can see in my code also.

<div class="container-fluid">

  <script>
    $("#e2_2").select2({
  placeholder: "Select a state or many…"
});

/* apply js to select box to change background color */
$('document').ready(function(){
      
      $('.select2-choices').attr("style",'background-color:#EA4335 !important');

      $('.select2-choices > *').attr("style",'background-color:#EA4335 !important');
    }); 
  </script>
</body>
</html>

try adding style to the class `select2-choices` like `.select2-choices { background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(100%, #EA4335), color-stop(100%, #EA4335)) !important; }`. i think this will work. — vikscool, Jun 16 '17 at 06:56
