Not quite sure if I understand what you mean about the submit form being hidden but the label showing an icon however I was able to override the buttons with an image. Please see the attached jsBin. I did it by adding a class to the input's.
Or just use Javascript to store the value in a hidden field and submit the form -- you're probably using JS anyways handle the open/close of the dropdown.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
