I found an example on
http://geekswithblogs.net/evjen/arch...7/23/8792.aspx but does this
work correctly for you guys?
If I select a different feed from the dropdown and then try to load the
first in the dropdown called Top News that feed is not loaded. It still
shows the previous selected instead.
Do you know what I should do to fix that error?
