Hi All,
A developer friend has quizzed me bout creating a custom popup listbox that needs to contain images next to each text option. I pointed him to the W3 authoring guidelines page on listboxes as well as the whatsock.com site.

But I got to thinking that this widget apparently will only have a handful of options. So I am wondering whether there would be a problem with just putting a standard radio buttons group in a <div> popup?I am not sure exactly what the options will be. He just said this would have been perfect for a <select> control accept for the need for pictures.
