Hi, I was just wondering when working with client/server stuff and javascripts why under the script tag is there usually the <! -- tag and why it also works without one.

Thanks,
Candy

The
<!-- and --> in your client-side scripts are for old browsers that don't recognize javascript. When they get the the <!-- tag it thinks it is a comment and doesn't show it.
