Comments come between *pairs* of hyphens, so your comments are parsed like this: "<!--" start of comment "- " comment "--" end of comment "->" syntax error HTML Tidy changes it so that there is no double hyphen until the (intended) end of the comment: "<!--" start of comment "- =" comment "-->" end of comment I suggest you change <!--- and ---> to <!-- and --> respectively throughout your code. (Is it being generated by HomeSite?) hth, -- Daniel Biddle <deltab@osian.net>
