I know how to have pictures show up next to the options in a HTML dropdown form element using the CSS background-image property.
However, the images do not show up on the selected element. Is there any way to do this (preferably using only CSS)?
EDIT:
Here is an example of the working code for the list elements. However, when the drop-down is closed, you only see the text of the selected element, without the image:
<select name="form[location]">
<option value="ad" style="background: url(img/flags/ad.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 20px;">Andorra</option>
<option value="ae" style="background: url(img/flags/ae.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 20px;">United Arab Emirates</option>
<option value="af" style="background: url(img/flags/af.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 20px;">Afghanistan</option>
<option value="ag" style="background: url(img/flags/ag.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 20px;">Antigua and Barbuda</option>
<option value="ai" style="background: url(img/flags/ai.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 20px;">Anguilla</option>
<option value="al" style="background: url(img/flags/al.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 20px;">Albania</option>
<option value="am" style="background: url(img/flags/am.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 20px;">Armenia</option>
<option value="an" style="background: url(img/flags/an.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 20px;">Netherlands Antilles</option>
<option value="ao" style="background: url(img/flags/ao.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 20px;">Angola</option>
<option value="ar" style="background: url(img/flags/ar.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 20px;" selected="selected">Argentina</option>
[...] - I think you get the idea.
