CB Drop down field with thumbnails

Hi

I would like to use CB Dropdown field with html displaying thumbnails for labels instead of plain texts

If we try to input html in the label fields, this is erased at saving of the field.

Can you give me a hint at how to achieve this ?

Thanks

For the dropdown you can't put HTML in the labels directly. That's not within HTML spec for select inputs. You'd have to use IF substitution in the profile layout value to condition HTML to be output. Example as follows.

Value: value1
Label: Value 1

Profile Value Layout:

OK does it have to be nested or should I write
]

And will it work with image display in the dropdown list ?

No, that's for profile display only. If you want images actually in the dropdown you need a jQuery driven dropdown like jQuery Select2 or Chosen. You can convert a CB select field to select2 using our built in CB Select jQuery plugin using CB Auto Actions as shown below.

However, you likely won't be able to use conditions from CB Conditional on that select field anymore. As for adding the HTML to the label you won't be able to directly. You'll have to use a language string then have the HTML in the language translation for that string.
