# #_EVENTEXCERPT breaks page

 * Hi,
 * I’m using your Event Manager plugin which is really great but am having trouble
   with the #_EVENTEXCERPT tag. I’m using the placeholder on a page that displays
   our events in a custom format using other placeholders. The other placeholders
   used are:
    eventurl, eventimageurl, eventname, eventdates and eventtimes. The
   last placeholder is the #_EVENTEXCERPT followed by the closing [/events_list]
   tag.
 * The events listing displays perfectly, but the sidebar that normally runs on 
   the right of this content gets smooshed into the footer and then runs down to
   the bottom of the page. You can see what I mean here: [link](http://i45.tinypic.com/9uua1y.jpg)
 * It also breaks some of the sidebar formatting, most notably, unordered lists 
   display with bullet points (ie. the “upcoming events” listing) which they normally
   wouldn’t.
 * Also, this doesn’t happen when the page uses the #_EVENTNOTES placeholder, only
   the excerpt.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

 * hi,
 * this seems to work fine on my test site; also, did you try to use some css styling
   or wrapped it in other html tags like p tags?

 * Hi,
 * Sorry for such a delayed reply.
    The problem was that I was copying and pasting
   code from our old webpage that used a different event system that created the
   content in a bunch of divs. Using the excerpt tag meant that the divs were being
   opened on the actual event content pages and not being closed because the excerpt
   cut the content off.
 * Simple fix, just had to edit all the event pages to remove all the div formatting.
 * Thanks for your help!
