Can't Validate XHTML on my site...

[bitHacker]

I am using vB 3.5.4 and vbAdvanced 2.1 and I wanted to validate my site,
and I have this error:

<br...<span class="smallfont">

I am using the news.php module, and as you can see, it cut's the <br> before the end of the tag... anyway how I can solve this?

needless to say that because of it, there is no <br> where one needed to be

Thanks in advanced

I have found the line in the news.php that cut's the entrie message to the small one, can any one help me modify it ?

PHP Code:

$news['message'] = substr($news['message'], 0, strrpos(substr($news['message'], 0, $mod_options['portal_news_maxchars']), ' ')) . '...' . construct_phrase($vbphrase['read_more'], $vbulletin->options['bburl'], $news['threadid'], $session['sessionurl']);

Don't modify the size of your news?

[bitHacker]

modify it won't help, what if the <br /> will be someplace else ?

I wan't to make it more efficiant, so that wherever the<br /> will be, the ... won't cut it.

No I mean modify the size of the news you allow, if you only allow 500 characters change it to 1000 or 10000 that way it won't get cutoff.

each post is diffrent, if I cahnge the number it won't matter, other posts can still cut off...

I don't want to display the entrie post, just the start of it till a certin point.

all I need Is a way to make sure, It doesn't cut any HTML tags...
