Re: A Picture drop down list ?

Hi Dreamer,

It is possible to set an image as a background for an <option>.

Using CSS, you can set the style of the <option> like width, height, color, background-image, etc.., But IE fails to support this, it simply shows the text. If you view in Mozilla, it works fine.

Try it once. Its Obviously possible.
Check in the following site

I'm not sure what Firefox you using, but my one is up-to-date and I have no problem to see this effect. It is not exactly the programmable drop down as you tried to do but it does the job

Re: A Picture drop down list ?

sure
i put it in a
<div style="overflow: auto; width: 780px; height: 530px;">

</div>

thus it is still equally neat.
