drop down player..., half of the script works... Options

[ebonylaurels]

Okay, I just tride to put a drop down player on my myspace, cause I want a bunch of songs on there instead of just a few, I used the same one from my xanga(which works perfect), and when I clicked preview the player was there with all the songs on it, but half the script was still visibal, and if you tried to play the songs none of them worked....here's the code without the songs in it, cause they just take up a bunch of spacepart in ~ is what can be seen

CODE

<OBJECT ~ID="Player" height="0" width="0" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
<~PARAM NAME="uiMode" VALUE="invisible">
<PARAM NAME="Autostart" VALUE="False">
</object>

<FORM ID="form">

<SELECT ID="playlist" size="1">

<!-- Add song info that appears in drop down list here -->
<option value="0"></option>

It doesn't work because there's javascript in it; MySpace doesn't allow javascript. There are some playlists out there, I've seen a couple friends with them.

[ebonylaurels]

Thanks for telling me why it doesn't work, but that doesn't really help me..cause I didn't make the script so I'm not sure how it works exsactly...and I can't find any script for a playlist other than this one on here...

[*This Confession*]

Also you can convert mp3s on your computer and upload them.


Here is a way for a dropdown player on myspace:
- edit I have to find a new link the other one got rid of the code-

[coldtrance]

well i have a play list that allows 10 songs for free:

www.mytuneslive.com

its not a drop down, but its easy to use, all you do is upload the songs you want to the profile, and get the code for myspace and paste it
