Extra HTML

Hello,

WordPress is adding extra <p> tags in my code. I’m using the HTML tab to paste the code.

Here’s what’s happening:

</div>
<p><!-- END Slider --></div>
<p><br class="clear" /></div>

See the extra <p>’s?

It’s not a plugin, I don’t have any plugin installed at all.

I have already taken out all the spaces between the HTML tags (something I shouldn’t have to do at all) and out of 6/7 HTML errors I had only 1 error remains (I can fix one of the <p>’s you see above, but I left both to show the kind error I’m getting).

I’ve searched the forums before posting but there is only one similar forum but no one has been able to solve that issue either.

This is very disapointing, although I’m not new to HTML this is my first time using WordPress to build a website because I heard very good comments about it, but now I’m trying such a simple thing which is copy HTML code from Dreamweaver to the HTML tab in WordPress and WordPress welcomes me with this absurd problem.

If there’s no way to solve this, I will have to dump WordPress for another CMS. I honestly do NOT want to do it, but seems I’m being forced to do so.

Thanks for any help you can provide on this issue.
