update:

so it's impossible?:(maybe via javascript?...

---

you can't - DOM model doesn't allow img elements inside option elements

Most website which associate images with a certain option in a menu use JavaScript or jQuery to change an image at the left or right of the menu whenever a new option is selected. However, it is not possible in any way to put an image inside or set a background image for an option element.

Try creating a menu list instead:

perhaps setting a background image with CSS - never done this so don't know if it works on not - I am guessing there will be browser issues with this too.

There is no way to make this work cross-browser, as lots of browsers restrict what you can do with the tag. FireFox browser is the only exception. But anyway, HTML tags inside options are not allowed according to the standards
