Easy? Image in Form content?

[Inny]

Hi Im trying to place images in this change content script but it refuses to co-operate. Is there some way to do it?

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="100%"><form name="ddmessage"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
          <td width="100%"><select name="selectbox" size="1" onChange="changecontent(this)">
            <option selected value="What is JavaScript?">What is JavaScript?</option>
            <option value="Why learn JavaScript?">Why learn JavaScript?</option>
            <option value="The difference between JavaScript and Java">The difference between Java and JavaScript</option>
            <option value="What is DHTML?">What is DHTML?</option>
          </select><br>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td width="100%"><textarea rows="8" name="contentbox" cols="35" wrap="virtual"></textarea><br>
<font face="arial" size="-2">This free script provided by <a href="http://javascriptkit.com">JavaScript Kit</a></font>
</td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </form>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

you could do it if you changed the output from a textbox to a DIV and used the inner HTML property:

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="100%"><form name="ddmessage"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
          <td width="100%"><select name="selectbox" size="1" onChange="changecontent(this)">
            <option selected value="What is JavaScript?">What is JavaScript?</option>
            <option value="Why learn JavaScript?">Why learn JavaScript?</option>
            <option value="The difference between JavaScript and Java">The difference between Java and JavaScript</option>
            <option value="What is DHTML?">What is DHTML?</option>
          </select><br>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td width="100%"><div id="output"></div><br>
<font face="arial" size="-2">This free script provided by <a href="http://javascriptkit.com">JavaScript Kit</a></font>
</td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </form>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
