help with dropdown play list. Options

[i_heart_mike_lou...]

hey.. I just did a drop down playlist.. and the different songs are playing but the same title for every song keeps on coming up. like if Grand theft autumn is playing.. it says the shotgun message is playing. same with any other song.
here's the code I used..anyone know how to fix it?

see the difference there is a "; at the end of each song

[i_heart_mike_lou...]

I just added that in, and it didn't make a difference. any other suggestions?

[ANG33ZY]

hey the same thing happens to me >:o

i've been using the code, but it never happened to me before.

[Pulchritude]

sigh.. since no one has come up with a solution i recommend doing the whole code over.. i know its soomuch trouble but i think its faster cuz no one can really come up with a solution

Grrr......... I found the problem..........

<select name="[b]<span class='searchlite'>[/b]playlist</span>" size="1">

remove the bolded parts and it should be:

<select name="playlist" size="1">

seems like all the problems on xanga help similar to this one has the same code in them, that span code...i wonder where it came from?! [if anyone's noticed]
