I think I'm really confused. Aren't xhtml comments written the same way as
comments in html? I've been commenting pages for many years... <!---- all
the same way ---->

When I took my Dreamweaver couse months ago, the instructor advised us to
begin using only xhtml tagging. But she didn't say anything about writing
the comment tags differently. Can someone please show me the way I should
write a comment that will pass the validator?

Thanks so much... very anxious to get these pages up and running. This is a
pro bono project and they're having their holiday meeting tonight.

Susan

Hi, Susan -

You're not validating your page, you're sending it through what is more
properly known as a "lint" - and it's still very broken, in the same way
that it was before, as you can see from the output from a real validator:

http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.cgi?url=http://www.wildwackywonderf
ulwomenoftheworld.org/wcwc/holidaycatalog1.htm

Or, if you prefer,

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.wildwackywonderfulwomenofthewor
ld.org/wcwc/holidaycatalog1.htm

Actually fix yer comments, and you'll fix the problem.

HTH,
Steve
