How to change 'language selector' to icons?

[alfisti.net]

Hi,

I want to change the drop down selector to two icons with links.
Please advise me on the syntax so that it work on every page.
from:

 
<select name="langid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'lang')">
    <optgroup label="Quick Language Chooser">
     <option value="1" class="" selected="selected">-- English</option>
<option value="2" class="" >-- German</option>
    </optgroup>
   </select>

to something like that:

 
<href="      x      &langid=1"><img src="flag1.gif"></a>
<href="      x      &langid=2"><img src="flag2.gif"></a>

Thanks
André

The $languagechooserbits is set in the source code, and not in a template, so it will have <option..> tags around it. So you can't do this. At least, I couldn't figure it out.

ok, so I will link the index with langID

Thanks
