Spry Validation Select Problems cs5

Question

Hi,
Part of my website uses a drop down to select from a list of products {product_name} - which is part of my dataset ds_Products.
Problem: The output is diplayed without a selection drop down and the web page dispalys "{product_name}" instead of the drop down in place of it when i look at the live view or even in the actual browser.
Code pieces:
<script type="text/javascript">
<form name="form1" action="" method="post">
        Search products:
<span spry:region="ds_Products" id="product_select">
<select spry:repeatchildren="ds_Products" name="ProductSelect" onchange=”ds_Products.setCurrentRowNumber(this.selectedIndex);">
    <option spry:if="{ds_RowNumber} == {ds_CurrentRowNumber}" value="{product_name}" selected="selected">{product_name}</option>
    <option spry:if="{ds_RowNumber} != {ds_CurrentRowNumber}" value="{product_name}">{product_name}</option>
</select>
</span>
</form>
<!--
var spryselect1 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationSelect("Product_select", {validateOn:["change", "blur"], invalidValue:"-1"});
//-->
How can I get my selection list/ drop down list to be represented from my dataset?
Thanks.

Hey folks,
Surprisingly, I figured out that the code is working fine when I clicked "Live View".
So the problem actually was my local host wasn't set up correctly.
For those having the same problem on windows 7 & cs5, make sure that:
iis service is running on ur machine
the testing server is set up on dreamweaver - in my case it was a local connection anf not ftp. Remember to specify your site folder when you do this.
you copy the site folder to (in my case) xampp/htdocs or whatever localhost service you are using.
