That's a lot of extra markup for every <select> control. Since it has
very limited use, I'd suggest it shouldn't be part of core.


I do like the idea of using it for your specific case.

i'd like to CSS my select menu  list. However the drupal common.inc
form_select() doesn't assign each  with a unique id/class.


the option list id's could be generated in the form:
<select-name>-<option value>


Which could produce something like:


  <select class="card" name="edit[card]" id="edit-card">
    <option value="" selected="selected">Please Choose</option>
    <option value="VISA" id="card-visa">Visa</option>
    <option value="MC" id="card-mc">Mastercard</option>
    <option value="SWITCH" id="card-switch">Switch</option>
    <option value="SOLO" id="card-solo">Solo</option>
  </select>


The above would then allow individual styling to each  - in my case
displaying an image next to each option.

Patch for above CSS modification request.


Most of what can currently be done with CSS on  elements is only useful
on Mozilla browsers. IE can't do anything exciting, it just ignores the
content.
