Re: Using images for selectItem labels

I'd like to use images as the labels for the selectItems in

selectItem component, I can't just use a graphicImage.  Am I going to 
have to hack together some funky text label to do it?  Something like

<f:selectItem itemValue="1" itemLabel="<img 
src=&quot;#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/images/label1.png&quot;>" 
/>

Or is there a better way of accomplishing this?

Well, the above idea doesn't work.  Not that that surprises me too 
much.  It just displays the text rather than the image.  So is there any 
way to accomplish this with things as they are, or would it require a 
custom selectItem component to be written?  And if so, does anyone know 
of one out there already?

Thanks,
