How to add custom image in dropdown in html

To add custom images to a dropdown, you can use a combination of HTML and CSS. To change the appearance of the arrow in the dropdown (select element), you can use CSS to customize it. However, it is important to note that the presence of arrows in the standard HTML select element is somewhat limited due to browser constraints. You won't have the same flexibility as other HTML elements.
