Thanks for your reply. I understand how the comment blocks work. However, in my case the HTML is being passed through a filter that is ignoring the content comment blocks.
I grabbed the MyFaces source and found where this is being done. It will put the JavaScript in comments if the content type of the page is XHTML. Since I am using facelets, my content type is XHTML. In addition, there does not seem to be a way to disable it. I think I can come up with another way to work around this. -----Original Message----- From: David Dyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 5:05 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: Javascript wrapped in comment block You don't actually need to get rid of it. The html comment tags inside the javascript block will only be applied by browsers that don't understand the <script> tag (eg really old IE or Netscape, text only browsers etc...). It's actually considered good form to have them in. David Randy Simon wrote: > > Hi, > > I just switched from the RI to myfaces.
