If the the content is being fetched using AJAX and the return type is text that you are using to plop in as the inner-html for the div, than you should be able to parse through the text and push elements onto a stack when opening tags are encountered. Pop when closing tags are encountered. Any tags on the stack at the end of the input need closed. -Shawn On 7/19/07, Jonathan Sharp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think you're going to have to attack that server side as the html is > interperted browserside into the dom tree which automatically closes tags as > necessairy. > > -js > > > On 7/19/07, sozzi <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > > > > > I have a rather odd problem where I am looking for potentially missing > > html tags due to truncation and need to close them. > > > > I am displaying a short summaries for an overview of published > > articles by showing a title and the first 30 words.
