ANy one with recommendations on how to make a picutre based 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 tried viewing it in FireFox still doesnt work

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

After trying various ways i found alternative =p thanks for the help =)

Well if you found alternative why don't you share with others?

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

</div>

thus it is still equally neat.
