Genre selection feature in progress

I am currently working on the code for adding a drop down genre box in the profiles so that members can choose from that list, which genres they write. It's tricky, because it's not straightforward html only--it's within another interface by the designers of the initial template. I tweaked the entire template, as i always do, until it looks nothing like the original, and I suppose i also do that with with the bells and whistles.

Hopefully, i will get this worked out soon, but until then, everything is still perfectly functional. I welcome any of you who might know the solution to the code problem, to let me know.

Best to all,
Jae
