Hmmm, sounds as if you have Capt. Hastings with you on the trail. A laptop is so great huh? Your husband is very understanding of this eBay thing that's going on.

I know what you are saying. However, using a prebuilt Thom Template or any version that I could come up with before the Beta (since January of 2003 acutally) AW2K has never done this before. Auctions, even on Yahoo have looked the way I expected them to look. I have always done the images the same way. And did I tell you it did the same thing on Overstock last night as I had to go in there and move the pix around. And that is a different template. Also on all templates I use Images On Top.

Checking way old eBay auctions of mine on several different templates I find that the HTML that places pictures has NEVER ended with <IMG and it shouldn't as that is the beginning of a next line of HTML that defines another new image.

So it's not the images, remember the auctions I had you look at. One was before Beta and it was fine. The other was Last night and had the <IMG problem until I fixed it.

I know that it doesn't have anything to do with the way a Pix was handled before posting as both the old auction and last night's used exactly the same images. The only thing done was to relist.

Well you and Capt. Hastings have a good drive, and maybe you can try relisting an old auction so you can try it. I do know also that it doesn't happen with one image. If there are more than one it may not be extra wide but that is because of the size of the image. The HTML will show though the <IMG problem.
