I have two separate playlists on the page with separate links but when I click either one it plays beginning of the whole page playlist with both.

Has any one figured out if there is anyway to upload content to the player through some sort of CMS - as opposed to needing to go into the html core - everytime you want to update your songs? Hey !

Thanks so much for 'fixing' it. Not being anywhere near your obvious level of js coding skill, I wasn't having much luck on my end... haha. Thanks again. Wow. Thanks so much for ‘fixing’ it.

Just checked the page you refer to and you're right, it doesn't work in any version of IE. You did a great job finding the source of the problem, it was an easy fix. I have updated both the article and example page with the corrected version of the code. Thank you for your comment.

I notice that this doesn't work on any version of IE I've tried from 5 through to 9, even on your own example page. After much experimenting, testing and research it seems that the problem is related to IE's lack of support for the javascript function getElementsByClassName. I have found that there are 'hacks' available to 'create' this function where it doesn't exist (ie. IE) but so far I have been unable to make it work (mostly because I don't really have that much experience with this sort of thing). But I thought I'd add this info regarding what I had discovered. One more thing, it seems that there are some superfluous attributes in the same hack that are probably a result of cut 'n paste of your active source code that apparently are a result of using/having Cool Previews installed on Firefox. the 'linkindex' attributes are apparently added by that plugin and serve no purpose in the hack itself. I think.... Regardless, thanks very much for sharing the info for the ymp, it has been most useful.
