Where "earlier browsers" refers to obsolete browsers like Netscape and IE 2.x. Basically anything released before the <script> element was introduced in HTML 3.2 over a decade ago. In general, it's a bad idea to teach people to use HTML comments within scripts these days because it's completely unnecessary and if and when authors try to use XHTML, it's yet another habbit they'll be forced to break or otherwise their scripts will be commented out. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
