Ok, the problem still ain't fixed yet. I've uploaded the entire script into my blog. The code's definitely working (I tried the code out on my friend's blog, who's layout is a simple 1 page skin). The main problem I'm facing right now is getting the buttons to work and the script to actually recognise that the 'form' is within an ELEMENT. The script also fails to play the next random song on the list too!
Is there anyone out there who can help me out with this? Perhaps all I need to do is to extend the linking codes.. but I have no idea how to. Looking forward to some positive replies!
note: I've removed additional codes in other to avoid confusion.
