Phantom html?

[gillrowley]

I know Halloween is over, but I have a page that appears to have a ghost.

When I preview the page (F12) there are the characters (without the quotes) "3,." above a table. Nowhere does this appear in the code view or the design view. All my tags have proper end tags, and there's nothing fancy about the page. Just straight, simple html. It just appeared today and I've never had this happen before.

There is a softery flash menu above the table, but the phantom remains even when I take the menu out of the page.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Gill

Does it appear if you publish the page or if you just open it directly in a browser (outside of Dreamweaver)?

Yes, this is for one of our intranet sites. I substitute http:// for the file path and get the same result.

Found it. Way down towards the bottom of the page those characters were set in between a <tr> tag and a <td> tag, and not within a <td> tag, so it was placed on the page before the table started.

Glad we could help.
I remember more than one similar situation...
