Hi Dan and Soren Soren - the below Url is a good example of what I mean.
Dan, yes, search for the closing ">" might do the trick (count < and then see if there are the same >'s) , but then again, if I have <img src="ima Even tho I close the tag with the > I don't think the link afterwards will show, like this: <P><IMG src="http://www.ze... > <p><a href="viewItem.asp?idProduct=778">More...</a> Any recommendatiosn for this case? I don't really want to strip HTML tags, cos if the img tag is complete - I do want the image to show. But if you send me that script anyway, I would appreciate it Thanks again!

You want to look for pairs of < and >, if you're in between them then you need to find the end of the tag, if not, then you don't. Alternatively strip out all of the HTML tags. I have a function that'll do this - can dig it out if you need it.

Soren Moshe Tapnack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/22/2004 05:08 PM Please respond to active-server-pages To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: [ASP] Counting "s Hi all I have a script drawing the first X chars for a descriotion of a product. After that, there's a link to a page. Th thing is that sometimes, on the X-th char, its in the middle of a <img> tag - in which case both the image wont show (except for the dreaded X), and also - the "more" link wont work, because the brwoser thinks its still in the <img> tag. So I thought a way to overcome this would be to count apostophes in th string. If its even - then its fine, and its odd, there is a tag that's open, so I better insert a "> to close the tag. That would at least allow the "more" link to show properly, but it still doesn't solve the "missing" image issue... Also - I ran into trouble looking for " - cos everytime you have to use doubles..... Any tips? Thanks!
