Hello all, I've got some long stories in a news database. I want to make a little "preview" type function that only spits out the first paragraph and then says "read the rest"... what I can't figure out is how to have it just read the field up to the first <br> tag. (all of the stories have these added when the story is put into the database. Any suggestions?
