Your combo box has enabled us to provide a better solution for our customers by letting them see color swatches and search all products of that color -- it's very cool.
One issue however is that since the combo is rendered on the client side, all the color swatches download the first time to the user's browser cache. This can be up to 250 images and takes quite a bit of time.
I've been reading about CSS Sprites (where I could combine the images into a several composite images and then slice them out using CSS).
Has anyone achieved this with the rad combo?
I tried setting a new CSS file and adding a different class to each RadComboBoxListItem that is rendered with a li.colorclassname tag, but then control doesn't seem to be applying it.
I thought I could set the url of the image to the composite image and then using the CSS could position the view to just the swatch I want to show.
Thoughts?

Hello Kevin,
As far as I understand, you wish to use "sprited" images in the RadComboBox drop-down. You can find attached a sample solution that shows such behavior; if I'm wrong about your scenario, please provide further explanation.
