noticed also that selecting one of the options mangles the text, both of these were created by invoking the snippet & , to keep the first value from each drop-down... this is the wrong output (highlighted part is duplicated... and in the first one, it changes to the last item in the list): &lt;abbr title="Ancient (Koine) Ancient (Koine) Greek"&gt;&lt;/abbr&gt; &lt;abbr title="Ancient Near Ancient Near Eastern"&gt;ANE&lt;/abbr&gt;
