    I was inserting a dropdown menu that a friend uses, when I copied and pasted this code into my blog which is sportstunner.com

    <form name="form2"><select name="select2" size="1" style="background-color:#CCCCFF" onChange="displaydesc(document.form2.select2, thetext2, 'textcontainer2')">

    <option selected value="">Gooner Links

    onClick="jumptolink(document.form2.select2)">

    I was just going to change there links with mine, but tjhe links were there but didnt take me to the sites, so when I went back to delete that code, I lost my blogroll and archives and this is what it sayson my sidebar

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/nathanev/public_html/wp-content/themes/black-letterhead/sidebar.php on line 106

    Look at line 106 of that file and the ones preceding it. It sounds like you may have misplaced PHP tags.

    Here is what the sidebar looks like:

    <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) { ?>
    You are currently browsing the "><?php echo bloginfo('name'); ?> weblog archives.

    <form name="form2"><select name="select2" size="1" style="background-color:#CCCCFF" onChange="displaydesc(document.form2.select2, thetext2, 'textcontainer2')">

    <option selected value="">Gooner Links

    Have you checked the file like matt said to do?
    Look at line 106 of that file and the ones preceding it. It sounds like you may have misplaced PHP tags.

    Also, rather then posting 5 miles worth of codes in here, you could/should use http://pastebin.com/ to post the codes in, and then post the URL of it..here.

    What are you using this dropdown for by the way? Archives, Catagories or just for Links... Just curious... =P

    Still have no clue.. I went to like 106 and see nothing wrong.. In fact its blank..

    I'm not sure my eyes are ok or not, or maybe I'm just overlooking something or not knowing the layout of that "dropdown"...but I didn't notice a closing tag for the "form".

    I see this in the beginning:
    <form name="form2"><select name="select2" size="1" style="background-color:#CCCCFF" onChange="displaydesc(document.form2.select2, thetext2, 'textcontainer2')">

    But no: </form> tag, any wheres in the sidebar.php file. =/ Is it supposed to be like that or something, I was thinking that might be the "problem" lol..I dunno, maybe I need some beer or vodka. =P

    Also, go here and find the 17 errors and fix them throughout your posts or files.. Just click on the "blue number" link type there by the word: "Line" and it will take you down the page, right to where the errors are at. I hope this helps..

    Yeah, I had seen it already lol. Try taking out the "dropdown" thing once... just the codes you added to it, see what happens once... ok.. Then we'll go from there..

    Where's a dropdown "Professional" when you need them lmao!!

    Hmmm...gerd damn things... [slaps the]sidebar.php file, work damn it!! Work!! Haha.. I dunno.. do you have a "backup" copy of the sidebar.php file, without anything changed in it..?

    If so, maybe just upload a "virgin" copy of it, ya know..one that hasn't been molested yet by you..and see what happens once.. lol!!

    It appears, you might be just missing an: endif close tag or something..

    Cause I think you have the two for the Theme Switcher, and the "Get Links" function.. example: <?php } ?>

    Ya just seem to be missing an: endif tag or something.. for this *I think*. I'm not a PHP Professional...so don't quote me lmao!!
    <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) { ?>

    spencerp

    I dunno...I'm kinda thinking about giving up on this though sigh..dang I wish I had a case of beer or something.. maybe I'd stick at it..
