is it possible to display an image + text in dropdown widget

Hi,

I'm trying to display an image + text in a dropdown. I have tried two methods..

i) under "renderer and state" in the dropdown widget, I'm using a state definition under state-based style definition to add an image. But upon selecting the item we can unable to see the image.

ii)creating an infotable with a html field and using it as the display field in the dropdown widget, in this case the text is coming up but the image isn't.

Please let me know if their is a way to achieve this, thanks!
