/MM_HIDDENREGION, Again

I'm working on a PHP project in Dreamweaver 2004. Initially I used Dreamweaver
to set up some record sets and repeating regions and stuff, but then I did a
lot of manual coding, too. After some of that manual coding I ran into two
problems:

1. In the Design view, the word /MM_HIDDENREGION appears highlighted in
yellow, twice. Nothing that I can see in the Code view indicates what this is.

Someone posted a question about this two years ago (06/01/2002), but he never
got a reply. He came up with a workaround himself, but his workaround does not
work for me.

2. In the Design view, one of my tables is now all kerflooey (cells appear
where they don't belong), but when looked at on the Website, with mysql data
inserted, it looks fine. How come it looks nutty in DW?

Thanks for the advice.

The two problems are probably interrelated. Generally, the yellow hidden
tags appear when Dreamweaver is confused. This happens when tags or quotes
on the page are not balanced or nested properly. Check the page to make sure
all tags are closed and all quotes are closed. Also, make sure that you
backup your files. Whenever you see the yellow tags, there is a possibility
that DW changed something without your knowing....
