Topic: Flag Images in a Drop Down Menu

[Kryptix]

I'm making a country selection with a drop down menu and have 200 countries in PNG format (16 x 11 pixels or something close to that). I can loop through them all and display them in a list fine but I need to know how to add a image into the actual drop down menu. I've never done this before and don't know how to do it.

Any ideas?

Anyone?

I don't think it's possible. At least not in all browsers. Do you have an example of a site that does this?

You can use some JavaScript Framework plugin to do this.  This is a jQuery plugin that  seems to be just what you need.  http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/jquery_ui_selectmenu_an_aria_accessible_plugin_for_styling_a_html_select/.  Some of the bottom demos have images in them.
