not to answer your question directly, but given you my opinion

for that kinda of data, is in my opinion that you should use a GridView control, taking your example you will need to write something like:

    
        
        
        

        

            
Header
            
Type
            
Name
            
Date
            
Amount
        
    
    

            

                <%#Eval("Header")%>
            
            

                <%#Eval("Type")%>
            
            

                <%#Eval("Name")%>
            
            

                <%#Eval("Date", "{0:d}")%>
            
            

                <%#Eval("Value", "{0:c}")%>
            
        
    
    
    

using a GridView all ou nee dto write in the HTML part is only:

something simpler and easier to read

you will have much more control using a GridView object rather than a Repeater, and, you will never have that kinda of problems, because rendering the gridView will always came with the table tags.

Hope it helps

And BTW, I tested your case and i did not got any problems even if I was not writting the tags like Spencer mention.

to see my code: File with HTML and Method - File with myObject
