Why don't you use the latter? The validator warns about the former, since there is a high risk of using a wrong number of hyphens and getting wrong results on browsers and other software that process comments correctly. (On the other hand, why don't you just remove the comment? If your HTML markup "needs" a comment, the odds are that it is too artificial and should be restructured. Comments considered harmful.) -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
