Rendering radio-buttons with icons instead of labels

I was looking for a way to save screen real estate, by using icons instead of labels for my list of choices, which in addition should be displayed as horizontal radio buttons. For example, I wanted to use thumbs_up.gif instead of "approve". I found a HorizontalRadioRenderer here: [https://wikis.utexas.edu/display/~bm6432/Django-Modifying+RadioSelect+Widget+to+have+horizontal+buttons](https://wikis.utexas.edu/display/~bm6432/Django-Modifying+RadioSelect+Widget+to+have+horizontal+buttons) Thanks to Barry McClendon for this snippet! At first, I tried to achieve display of icons instead of labels by modifying the render method, but after a while I gave up on that and decided to just use the choices tuple. This doesn't work too well with a select box (no icons, no text), but in combination with a radio widget it looks quite nice. If you mark the strings for translation, you can also easily change icons, alt and title for each language.
