I guess my feable attempt at explaining myself was rather off the mark. I'm looking for code that will take an HTML string and give me back a truncated string which still contains 'valid' HTML - the idea being to make an intro text from a longer article (that is stored as HTML). I'm a little confused why the html santizing couldn't be done with a simple strip_tags()? are we on the same page? have I missed something? rgds, Jochem

Not a downer at all, Jochem. I probably misread what you were asking for. However, in the process of doing it, I found three places just yesterday where I could add that file as an include, call that one function [htmlstr();] and reduce several other lines of code. So I'm sorry that it didn't work for you, but it actually did come in use somewhere, which I may not have even done if it weren't for my misunderstanding of your needs. -- Daniel P.
