It makes all the difference actually and would never make it to an HTML comment. Everything after that "<!---" will be a CF comment and cause the error since it doesnt have a closing '--->'
All opening tags before the <!--- --> will not have ending tags if they fall after the malformed comment. -----Original Message----- From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 11, 2006 2:38 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Code Question Shouldn't make any difference - it would just end up being an HTML comment, albeit incorrect.
