    Resolved [RESOLVED] Dumb Easy Quesion

    Is there a tag in html for commenting code out? Something like the ones for JavaScript.

    I searched but didnt find anything.

    Thanks

    Code:
    '...
<tr valign="top">
    <td style="width: 10px">&nbsp;</td>
    <td style="width: 482px;">&nbsp;</td>
    <td style="width: 120px;">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

//--Comment?
<tr valign="top">
    <td style="width: 10px">&nbsp;</td>
    <td style="width: 482px;">&nbsp;</td>
    <td style="width: 120px;">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>--//end commented code

    Thanks, told you it was an easy dumb question. Shows how little web development I do.

    The <!-- inside the script tags is merely a trick to hide the JavaScript from browsers that don't understand the script tag (basically none nowadays - even those that can't do JS recognize and ignore the tag), so that the content doesn't get displayed.

    Of course, in XHTML this is a bad idea, because the parser may (and often will) throw away comments without forwarding them to the application - so the browser never sees the JS code.
