Hi Sarah, ehm ... such a specification
<!ELEMENT option (#PCDATA | span)*> would be private - no browser would accept this. Its possible to use the XHtml1.1-specification (or every other spec) and add own additional definitions. Reading your sentence in your first mail >I cannot seem to find any reference to whether the > following is possible you may want something which is part of the standard, not a private extension. And the standard says <!ELEMENT option (#PCDATA)> so no inner element is allowed. There are two other solutions. First use unicode with special small pictures, look at http://www.sql-und-xml.de/unicode-database/miscellaneous-symbols.html All symbols of version 2.1 are shown in standard-browsers. Second it's possible and valide to create a javascript: When changing the value of the select-list, a new picture is shown. I created a small sample, look at my domain http://www.sql-und- xml.de/ and add i-javascript.html (I do not want too link directly because this is no official page). At the end I added a small sample. Changing the value in the list shows a picture of the domain.
