[WSG] Multiple comments to filter non Gecko-based browsers
Hi, I'm trying to use nested comments as a filter for non gecko-based browsers. This is my markup: !-- style type=text/css some rules here /style !-- Gecko-based browsers get it right; they see the nested comment and ignore the inner block. But the Validator gives me a warning about this (multiple comments in comment declaration). The thing that bothers me is that WDG [1] says that !-- hello-- is a legal comment, but my guess is that the Validator would choke on this too. Isn't confusing?

Hi Thierry I guess the first question would be.. what are you trying to do and is their another solution? Not sure what you mean by filter for non Gecko browsers?

Re: [WSG] Multiple comments to filter non Gecko-based browsers
I guess the first question would be.. what are you trying to do and is their another solution? Not sure what you mean by filter for non Gecko browsers? Hi James, I found out that non Gecko-based browsers see the inner block (between the comments), so I can use this markup to feed them without styling elements in FF, etc. Honnestly, I didn't find a real need for that yet, but I'm frustrated with the info I found so far re: multiple comments. It's very inconsistent and I hoped that one of you guys could give me a definitive answer on this.
