Post Excerpts pulling in Soliloquy info as well

Hi Tom,
I'm having an issue with Soliloquy (slider) code showing up in my post excerpts when I view posts as an archive. The posts themselves consist of a two column layout with a Soliloquy slider on the left and text content on the right. The posts are fine when viewed as posts but view a category archive and the excerpts show the slider code. Here's a screenshot image on Dropbox for reference:
1. The archive view:

Thanks for any light shed on this issue!
Hi there,
WordPress excerpts strip HTML from the content. In this case, it's stripping the <style> tag of the slider, and showing the CSS.
I'm not sure of a specific solution, unfortunately. One possibility is to include a custom excerpt using the Excerpt metabox. That way WordPress won't pull the slider into the excerpt at all.
Thanks for the explanation and the suggested solution, Tom. Sounds like a viable workaround. I'll give it a go.
Hi Tom,
For anyone interested in a plug-in based solution to this issue…
This plugin adds a rich-text post excerpt box for each post that replaces the standard post excerpt:

It takes a second to set-up and works like a charm as shown in this image of a post using rich-text excerpt and another post not set-up to use it:
