Correct comment placement

Hi,

I am wondering about the correct placements of an html comment (<!-- 
this -->).
Especially if it is correct to place it before the doctype:

<!-- Hi there ^_^ -->

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html>
...

Because Internet Explorer seems to not take the doctype at all if you do 
a comment placement like this.
I am putting the comments between the doctype ad the html tags, and I 
would like to have know if this is correct.

I did some search with no luck, sorry if this is a dup.

Thanks a lot,
IrYoKu
