Kalle Korhonen commented on TAPESTRY-2111:
------------------------------------------
Agree. It's not needed and can be harmful because in XHTML mode browser should
actually *ignore* Javascript. Some resources:
http://javascript.about.com/library/blxhtml.htm
http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol6/javascript_no12.htm
http://javascript.about.com/od/reference/a/accessibility_2.htm
Note that the latest browsers that didn't understand script tags at all were
Netscape1 and IE 2 browsers, and nobody has been using those for years.
> Remove HTML comments around JavaScript.

> Key: TAPESTRY-2111
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-2111
> Project: Tapestry
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.1.4
> Reporter: Kevin Menard
> Priority: Minor
>
> Tapestry's generated JavaScript generates HTML comments around its
> JavaScript. While this served a purpose with older browsers, it really
> doesn't do much with anything semi-recent. These browsers, if they don't
> support JavaScript, know not to render the text inside the script tag anyway.
> My guess is that the only browsers that this would be useful for are also
> those that look for the "language" attribute, rather than the "text"
> attribute of the script tag, so they're dead in the water anyway.
> On top of all this, there have been unconfirmed reports that the comments can
> mess up IE7 in certain situations.
