DW CS3 Crashing when /select tag closed

Question

Hi all,
Could someone please take a brief look at the code below and
tell me why Dreamweaver CS3 keeps crashing every time I try to
close the </select> tag?
Quick rundown: I'm populating a detail page from my SQL
database. If an option (for example "option_a") exists, I want the
dropdown list to populate with all available selections for that
particular option. An example for option_a would be 'Color', and
the listbox selections (a1, a2, a3...) would be something like
"blue", "green", or "red". The code is attached:
DW is crashing the SECOND I close that </select> tag
near the end. I know this code isn't perfect and there's probably a
dozen better ways to do this, but I'm new to php and web design.
The really strange thing is this was working for several weeks. All
of a sudden, it doesn't work anymore. I wonder if there's a control
character in there or something, or maybe I deleted an important
character? Thanks in advance for the help.
