jump menus - several on one page

I've been using several jump menus in my site that I store as library items.
Several pages on the site use a jump menu. Each month i update the jump menu
library items and the pages that use them update just fine, no worries. Now
however, I have to make some pages that will have several of these jump menus
on them. So, I am putting the jump menus in tables. All seems well, until I
save the document that has several jump menus and come back to it later. When i
reopen the page, everything looks out of whack, i get the yellow highligted
code (tags and stuff that says, "beginning of library item") Has anybody ever
had this problem?

Thanks for responding. I solved my problem with the library item jump menus but
now I am wondering how to add a style to the jump menu options. I am able to
add a style and get the form object (or whatever the thing is called that the
user first sees before making a selection) but I can't seem to figure out how
to change the appearance of the items that "drop down." I want to get the font
to be the same as what initially is seen by the user but can't figure out how.
Here is the code that I have so far. I've tried adding styles to the option
tags and nothing about the appearance of the text changes. Any ideas?
thanks

<style type="text/css">

</style>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
<select name="Fashionistas" class="text"
onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,1)">
<option selected>Fashionistas</option>
