  • post your not working code – RSM Nov 15 '13 at 13:33
  • Browser will **always use** system (!) **default font** for option list items so you can't put a there. If you really need it you have to use a custom drawn option control. – Adriano Repetti Nov 15 '13 at 13:36

  • It's not about styling folks..i want to disply all icons from font-awesome under a drop down – user42701 Nov 15 '13 at 14:39
  • This is the code which is not displaying font icons' ' – user42701 Nov 15 '13 at 14:40
  • **We** understand. The problem is **you can't put inside – Adriano Repetti Nov 15 '13 at 15:38
  • @user42701 - if Adriano's comment wasn't enough for you, checkout the link that Quentin posted. – GaryP Nov 15 '13 at 16:11
  • @Adriano Correct this is my exact problem – user42701 Nov 18 '13 at 13:18
  • @user42701 answer is still...you can't! You have to use a **custom** dropdown (made, for example, using
      and styled to appear and behave like a combobox). There are many examples of that (check jQuery plugins).
