User Profile Field with Multiple Options

[mfowler70]

I'm trying to do something similar to this, in that I want to give users an option of displaying a predefined image in their signature area. I understand how to setup the profile field and display the user's choice in the postbit. What I'm struggling with though is actually showing the image options in the Edit Profile page, so they will know what the images look like.

The textarea where you enter the different options for the profile field doesn't parse html or bbcode, so if I add a url in there, it just shows that url in plain text on the edit profile page. Is there some workaround that I need to do in order to accomplish this?

Thanks
