comments.json API Endpoint

What type of problem?  Generally that is a good thing to have if you are web rendering since it will help prevent bad html floats from messing up your page.

If you don't want html at all..then I would suggest evaluating a different PostTarget that is an option on that API

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for your reply.

The problem that it's causing is that we are not proving the users with a rich text editor. So when the comment body is added into a textarea element for the user to edit it's also display "<div style=\"clear:both;\"></div>".

I've tried using the PostTarget option but it makes no difference and still appends "<div style=\"clear:both;\"></div>" to each comment in the returning result set.

You would have to share your code with post target.  You are also pretty far behind in terms of version.  I recommend you upgrade to 10.2.  You currently are not getting any maintenance fixes with that version.
