    Default Library Items Quirk

    Every time I insert a library item I've created it inserts a </table> and then
    generates an open table. How do I make it stop? I went in and deleted them off
    of each page, but when I updated images in my library it went through and
    reinserted all of these random table tags again.

    Do you have unpaired tags within your library item? The code in a library
    item must be a complete fragment, in the sense that you cannot have an
    opening tag without its corresponding closing tag. In addition, a well
    formed library item cannot contain <html>, <head>, or <body> tags, nor can
    it contain <style> embeddings or <link> links to external stylesheets. Does
    yours have any of them?

    Thanks for responding. Since it's automattically writing in code that doesn't
    previously exist, I'm assuming there is some option somewhere that needs to be
    turned off, but I can't find it. I've gone through the preference and I can't
    find anything that looks like it would generate tabs on its own when inserting
    a libary item.

    All the tags are paired and I don't have any higher-level head or body tags.
    However, using your suggestions I did slim down on the number of tags that were
    used. In the .lbi the heirarchy was tr, td, table. I took out the outer tr and
    td tags and tried inserting it again. This time, no additional code was
    inserted.

    So it looks like the problem is mostly solved, in that I've fixed my current
    problem. However, I would like to still deactivate any options that
    automatically inserting code to avoid this same problem in a different
    scenario. Any ideas?

    So - you are taking a broken page and breaking it worse in an attempt to
    mask the error? I don't like that solution.

    When you validate the *.lbi page (as if you could), it should validate.
    This means that you cannot have any non-terminated or partial page elements
    in the *.lbi file, e.g.,

    <tr>
    <td>something</td>
    </tr>

    will not work, nor will

    <p>something</p></td>

    See what I mean?

    Why not show me your library item and I'll tell you if you are doing it
    right?

    Thanks again for taking the time to look at this. Even though all the tags were
    paired, it didn't seem to like starting with a tr...which sounds like the
    "partial page elements" proplem you mentioned in your post.

    Here is the .lbi, the tags I removed to have it work correctly are bolded.

    <tr><td>
    <table width="717" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
    <td><img src="spacer.gif" width="20" height="28"></td>
    <td>images and stuff</td>
    <td><img src="spacer.gif" width="20" height="28"></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </tr></td>

    BINGO.

    This is not going to work. What will work, however, is to END THE TABLE
    immediately before the Library item. Then you can insert a complete table
    in the Library item.
