Broken Drupal View

Today I stumbled over a problem using Views in Drupal. I had two listing Views - one listing all blogs, the other all posts, which muddled up my whole page:

The navigation dropped to the bottom and the content was listed kind of hierarchical, but without following an obvious rule. I searched quite a while - made hundreds of queries to google, without success.

The problem was caused by a teaser of a node, which opened a table, but did not close it.

So be aware to provide self-contained teasers for each of your drupal posts, as they can mess up the whole page inside a view. You can use the button “Split summary at cursor” to tell drupal where the teaser should end. And don’t forget to close any open tags before that ;)
