Is it possible to have a bunch of <select> dropdowns in html that only display a small (say 10 pixels wide) icon, but when you click it the drop down has a list with the icons beside a descriptive string. (Let's see if ASCII art works on SO):

[X]
| X - Disable |
| v/ - Enable |
| O - Ignore  |
+-------------+
[O]
[v]
[X]

Can that be done in CSS? Or in jQuery?
