Anyone Know Any HTML?

I have this problem with the page. When I print I get this strange mess of HTML just after the counter. Happens here and at work, in IE and in Firefox, on this page and the other one. In the sidebar I see the hitmap and then the counter and then this (replacing the greater and less than signs with brackets so it will print):

[a href="http://sm2.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=sm2Tanbi" target="_top"]
[img src="http://sm2.sitemeter.com/meter.asp?site=sm2Tanbi" alt="Site Meter" border="0"/][/a]

Can you print or print preview an entry and see if you get it too?

If you do, and you are someone that knows about such things, could you scope out the source and see if you know what's up? The counter guy says there's nothing wrong. I'm begining to wonder if it is just me.

nope. definitely see it in a print preview. I'm no HTML expert, but i checked out the source and it looks to me like you want to get rid of the tag:

[noscript]
[a href="http://sm2.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=sm2Tanbi" target="_top"]
[img src="http://sm2.sitemeter.com/meter.asp?site=sm2Tanbi" alt="Site Meter" border="0"/][/a]
[/noscript]

this may do it... this "noscript" tag is designed so that people running browsers that cannot view scripts (like, no one) will still see something. apparently it prints, though, so i'd say its not worth keeping it around.

Seems to have done it! Thanks.

Glad it's fixed.

The only people who will be frustrated by the lack of scripts is those of us who browse the web with lynx. But we're used to it.
