JavaScripts are no longer commented out

What?

[mossimo]

I understand commenting out JavaScripts is not allowed in "XHTML"
But I have people telling me that they can cause errors in some browsers when used in "HTML" although I have never had this issue.

Anyone?

It was for very old browsers that didn't support javascript and use to display it as text in the page ... I think :)

1) commenting out javascript is *necessary* in correctly intrepreted xhtml
2) the html comments wont work as they do in html in xhtml
