Somehow, SpiderWriter is adding a bunch of unprintable characters in my image maps. Here is an example:

<IMG height=30 src="MenuIcons/NotablesNorm120.jpg" width=120
useMap=#NotablesMap border=0 name=NotablesMap0>
<MAP NAME="NotablesMap">
<AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="0,0,120,30" HREF="NotableEvents/NotableEventsA.html" ALT="Notable Events"
on-Mouse-Over="if(document.images)

	
	
	
	
	document.NotablesMap0.src='MenuIcons/NotablesOv120.jpg';" onMouseOut="if(document.images) document.NotablesMap0.src='MenuIcons/NotablesNorm120.jpg';"
>
</MAP>

I keep taking them out, but they continue to return. Does anyone have any idea where the repeated sets of "
&#9" are coming from? It seems to add another set everytime I save the page after an edit.

How are you modifying your pages and saving them. In Document Source view, Spider Writer does not modify your code. In Design view, the WYSIWYG editor may alter some things. If there is a problem with that though, we might not be able to fix it since it is a Microsoft control that we use to provide the WYSIWYG functionality.

Thanks for the reply.
I never modify anything except text in design mode and not even that very often, however it may be modifying the MAP during some of these text edits even tho I made no MAP changes. I'll check further and respond when I have info. I'll try to MAKE it happen and see what I get.
