Extra html tags getting added

Hi
Looking at lddbd_display.php there are two places where this code is below:

<div id='lddbd_navigation_holder'>
     <a href='javascript:void(0);' id='lddbd_listings_category_button' class='lddbd_navigation_button'>Categories</a>
     <a href='javascript:void(0);' id='lddbd_all_listings_button' class='lddbd_navigation_button'>All Listings</a>
     {$login_button}
     {$submit_button}
</div>

For now I have deleted the line so that both links to Categories & All Links are on the same line.

<div id='lddbd_navigation_holder'>
      <a href='javascript:void(0);' id='lddbd_listings_category_button' class='lddbd_navigation_button'>Categories</a><a href='javascript:void(0);' id='lddbd_all_listings_button' class='lddbd_navigation_button'>All Listings</a>
      {$login_button}
      {$submit_button}
</div>

This works but I still have an extra <p></p> tag being generated

So any thoughts from the developer?

Thanks

Colin
