    Default Help urgently needed for my listing

    I have made [and used successfully] a default for listing books for sale. In the 'Description' window I have put in Title, Author, Publisher, etc. and fill in the details for each book. Below that I have put in e.g. Click here to go to my About Me page.

    This morning I entered two books. When I looked at the preview only the lower bit was showing, nothing in the actual book info. The rest only shows up if l go to 'Edit' the listing, but not when it is listed.

    I thought I would salvage something and selected the Title etc info, opened a Windows page and tried to paste. You guessed it - nothing other than the tab to determine the formatting!

    Any advice most welcome please - I am sitting with a stack of books to list + the time to do so today.

    At the moment I have closed the listings as they are not much use without the description, but I will repost them so that anyone interested can see what has happened.

    Auction number 27581115 and 27581076

    Many thanks

    I think you will find it is down to your use of style="display: none" which tells the browser not to display the element.

    How did you write it?
    Was it the eBid WYSIWYG, another WYSIWYG, Word, or some other way?

    I think the following is the culprit, it's in there more than once.

    Code:
    <span id="1270548992826E" style="display: none">

    Thank you Astral & Gothicina. I would never have found that - no idea how it crept in.

    Much appreciated.

    I wrote it in WYSIWYG Advanced. Any sugestions as to what I did to get that into my listing?

    Thanks again
