JonnoTheDev Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 You cannot do this as far as I am aware (and have also tested). This is invalid HTML. Select lists are for text.

Dathremar Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I wanted to do this, after a lot of googling I found some examples how it is made. The thing is like OP said this is not doable in a normal drop down. You will have to use CSS and javascript. So You will put all the options and the images into divs and then make them look like drop down list with css. Then add javascript functions for the onClick method, mouseover etc. GL making that P.S. I did't make it My contractor gave me too little time to play around Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/158087-display-images-in-a-drop-down-list/#findComment-833978 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dathremar Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 True that it is a lot of work, but if you want a drop down with images that's the way to do it.

Ken2k7 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Radio or checkboxes would work. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/158087-display-images-in-a-drop-down-list/#findComment-834396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
