Bibliography in HTML does not include citation metadata

I am trying to create a bibliography from a collection or group in Zotero and save it in HTML so that I can then put it on a course Wiki or LibGuide for my students as part of a Research Guide. The problem I'm having is that when I right click on the collection or group, create a bibliography and then save it in HTML, the HTML file does not have the metadata that Zotero uses to save an item from the web. In other words, when I view the bibliography created by Zotero in a web browser, there are no capture icons in the address bar so that the reader can save those same citations. I am using a Mac OS 10.7.1 and running Zotero in Firefox. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here?
  • That's odd.
    So you right-click --> Create Bibliography --> Save as HTML
    that certainly should work (and does for me). Have you looked at the html with a text editor? Do you see any <span class="Z3988"... (that being the COinS that Zotero should save there).
  • When I open the HTML file in TextEdit, all I see is the text of the bibliography. When I view the Source Code in Firefox, I also do not see any <span class = ...
  • What version of Zotero?
  • 2.1.10, which I believe is the most up to date version
