That's true, CF comments should be <!---. This way, they
don't appear in the resulting HTML. Do a View Source and
you'll see there not in there.
But your ultimate problem is that ColdFusion isn't touching
the code in the first place. If you do a View Source on
what you're getting now, you'll probably see all of the CF
tags (CFQUERY, etc).
Ideally, ColdFusion should be reading page and removing
them. Make sure:
- You're saving the page with a .cfm extension (not .htm)
- ColdFusion is running (can you get into the CF
Administrator?)
- You're viewing the page through the server, not straight
off of the disk. Make sure when you give the address of the
page, it starts with "http://"; and not "c:\". If you go
straight for the disk, the webserver and ColdFusion never
have a chance.
If it still doesn't work, send another note...
