Ebay keeps flagging Java Script in the empty item description box of my template

[friendsofthepaloaltolibrary]

My blank template has an item description box that is completely empty and eBay posts this error message:

We found the following active content in your listing: Javascript. To make eBay a more secure marketplace, we hide all active content from buyers.

If I click on Help Me Fix It, it gets "fixed" it but I have to do EVERY time I start a new listing. How can I eliminate this Javascript warning? I don't even know what Javascript IS but unless its invisible, it's not there! Help!

Your blank template has active content in it.

Have a look at the template and switch to html view and you will probably see it.

It probably got there because at some point you copied and pasted from an online source and picked up some random code in the process. If you did that and then deleted all the VISIBLE content you probably still left a bunch of html coding.

Thank you. I'll check it out. Hope that's the answer because it's driving me nuts!

There was tons of code there! But I deleted it, saved the template and when I reopened the template, the code was back. Then I opened up the HTML, asked eBay to fix the active content, it deleted some of the code. I saved it, reopened the content and it was all back again. I might have to get my software writing soon involved. I appreciate your input though. It's given me a new line of attack.
