Problem

All I've got is the following little snippet of code: ``` <select size="1" name="EventHour<?php echo $i; ?>"> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> <option>5</option> <option>6</option> <option>7</option> <option>8</option> <option>9</option> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> <option>12</option> </select> : <!-- note this character --> <select size="1" name="EventMinute<?php echo $i; ?>"> <option>00</option> <option>05</option> <option>10</option> <option>15</option> <option>20</option> <option>25</option> <option>30</option> <option>35</option> <option>40</option> <option>45</option> <option>50</option> <option>55</option> </select> ``` The should output fine. However, WordPress adds a p-tag around both of my select-elements as well as around the ":"-character. This makes them all end up on different rows. I've installed and activated the WordPress plugin "Disable Visual Editor WYSIWYG" on this page without any success. Any other ideas what I can do to stop this from happening?
