Default What to do about orphan bullets? - 05-21-2007 , 12:58 PM

There is an orphan bullet at the schedule.

There is no difference in the code. It reminds me of some kind of
<li> type
behavior. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

which contains your orphan bullet in the code. Delete it with a simple
editor (Notepad, for example), and you're done. Right?

Maybe you shouldn't rely solely on Fireworks 8 and Dreamweaver 8 to
produce your code. If your WYSIWYG editor is adding weird stuff you will
Get things you can't See. Anyway, the markup is rather unlovely, so you
might find it useful to improve your knowledge of HTML.

Thanks. I personally use Super Notetab and I just inherited the code.
I tried to see the changes and all I see is that the <br> tags were
<br/>.
but this didn't fix it.

I put a space after the two dashes. =)

Thanks. I did finally see the orphan bullet, but the funny thing is
that it wasn't in the code until I correctly put the list tags in.

I tried changing the encoding to see if something more identifiable

Which form you use depends on your doctype; if it's HTML it should be
<br>, while if it's XHTML it should be <br />. You shouldn't mix the
two in the same document.
