form.select with images

Hi,

Is it possible to use form.select in such a way that the selection values are images rather than text ?

I currently use an array like so

<%= form.select :card_type,                 [ [ "display_name_1", :value_1 ],                   [ "display_name_2", :value_2 ] ],                 { :prompt => "Please Select..."} %>

Instead of showing the text "display_name_1", etc, I would like to display images.

Thanks!

John,

I think you'll have to find a JavaScript control that does this. Here is one (look at "combobox with icons")

Then either embed it directly inside your view or via a JavaScriptHelper
