    When someone uses html like an em tag or a blockquote tag in my word press comments it will sometimes break the rest of the site. Basically it doesn’t close the tag.. (even if it is closed) I know if happens for sure if someone uses a blockquote at the beginning of a comment. Also line breaks all seem to run together in comments. Anybody know why this might be happening? http://www.chrisvschris.com is the blog

    Here is the code:

    <li class="christopher_comment" id="comment-1434">
    <div class="comment">
    <div class="gravatar-wrap"><img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=6fb1850b952597d2784d25636fd9ec7b&amp;size=40" alt="" class="gravatar" />
    </div>
    <div class="comment-posted">
    <h3 class="commentauthor"><a href='http://' rel='external nofollow'>Christopher</a> commented:
    </h3>
    <p class="comment-link"><a href="#comment-1434" title="">September 1st, 2005 at 4:44 am</a> <a href='http://www.chrisvschris.com/wp/wp-admin/post.php?action=editcomment&amp;comment=1434'>edit</a> </p>
    </div>
    <div class="comment-text">
    <p>
    <p><em>It was mostly copying word for word. Not a commentary.</em>
    </p></p>
    </div>
    </div>
    </li>

    Somehow this comment breaks the whole site.

    Looks to me like the problem is that the sidebar is only including the first so many words or characters of the comment, so the closing </em> isn’t included.
