How to place element in select?-CodePudding

Trying to insert SVG image in select section like this: In FIGMA

Can't understand what is the mistake in my code.

.contacts__select {
  margin: 0;
  margin-top: 95px;
  margin-left: 64px;
  position: relative;
  height: 50px;
  width: 450px;
  background-color: #D6E7D2;
  border: none;
  box-shadow: 0px 4px 4px 0px #00000040;
  align-self: flex-start;

  -webkit-appearance: none;
  -moz-appearance: none;
  -ms-appearance: none;
  appearance: none;

  font-family: 'Inter';
  color: #717171;
  font-size: 20px;
  font-weight: 400;
  line-height: 40px;
  letter-spacing: 0.05em;
  text-align: left;
}

.contacts__select::after {
  position: absolute;
  content: '';
  background-image: url('./assets/img/svg/accordion_btn.svg');
  bottom: 0;
  right: 0;
}

I tried different combination if left/right top/bottom. Doesn't work anyway. my version

You can do this with CSS Flex, its very powerful.

All we do is place the title and the SVG (children) within a display flex (parent) and then tell the children to align centre, and space them between each other

.dropdown {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;

    background-color: #d6e7d2;
    box-shadow: 0px 4px 4px 0px #00000040;
    height: 50px;
    padding: 0 16px;
}

.dropdown__title {
    font-family: 'Inter';
        color: #717171;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-weight: 400;
}

.dropdown__icon {
  width: 24px;
  height: 24px;
}

<div >
    <span >City</span>
    <span >
        <img src="/assets/img/svg/accordion_btn.svg" alt="icon">
    </span>
</div>

You have to provide dimensions for the pseudo-element, e.g.

width: 20px;
height: 20px;

Since the content is empty, the dimensions are 0 by default.
