image in dropdown

[yogibear333]

can anyone help me by telling me how to add an image to a dropdown box?

In a form element? Impossible

 

In a DHTML dropdown?

This sample demonstrates how to use the DynAPI to create a 100% DHTML-based ComboBox with images.

another possibility is to make a fake dropdown menu using css and then adding an image would be no problem.

 

<style type="text/css">
#dropdown {width:240px; height:84px; border:2px inset #ccc; overflow:auto;}
#dropdown a {text-align:left; font:9pt/10pt arial,verdana,sans-serif; padding-left:2px; margin:0; white-space:nowrap;}
#dropdown a.menu:link {text-decoration:none; display:block; background-color:#fff; color:#000;}
#dropdown a.menu:visited {text-decoration:none; display:block; background-color:#fff; color:#000;}
#dropdown a.menu:hover {text-decoration:none; display:block; background-color:#000; color:#fff;}
#dropdown a.menu:active {text-decoration:none; display:block; background-color:#000; color:#fff;}
</style>

<div id="dropdown">
<a class="menu" href="index.htm" target="_top">How To Download Files</a>
<a class="menu" href="bestdropdownmenu.htm" target="_top">Best Dropdown Menu</a>
<a class="menu" href="embeddingmediainhtml.htm" target="_top">Embedding Media In HTML</a>
<a class="menu" href="miscellaneousinternettips.htm">Miscellaneous Internet Tips</a>
<a class="menu" href="pubcomp.htm">Using Public Computers</a>
<a class="menu" href="uncorruptinghtmlfiles.htm">Uncorrupting HTML Files</a>

<a class="menu" href="yahoogeocitiestips.htm">Yahoo! Geocities Tips</a>
<a class="menu" href="worldgeocities.htm">World Geocities</a>
</div>

Just to add, none of the above scripts will work within a form
