<!--- and //----> on the front page

It's not a big deal, but...

I just thought I'd point it out. I'm on Firefox. Oddly, when I checked on Safari, Newest Members didn't exist at all.

Is firefox just more awesome?


Your music tastes are bad, therefore your argument is irrelevant.

Re: <!--- and //----> on the front page

It's not appearing in Google Chrome.

EDIT: By the way, this is the source of that part:

Code:

<!--

    <div id="NewestMembers" class="sidecontainer">

      <h4>Newest Members </h4>

      <ul class="sidelist">

                <li><img src="/static/icons/buddy/701851_sm.png?t=2011-01-17+01%3A56%3A42" title="thenewlow" alt="thenewlow" width="28" height="28"><a href="/users/thenewlow">thenewlow</a> </li>

                <li><img src="/static/icons/buddy/701850_sm.png?t=2011-01-17+01%3A40%3A47" title="HelloAvis" alt="HelloAvis" width="28" height="28"><a href="/users/HelloAvis">HelloAvis</a> </li>

                <li><img src="/static/icons/buddy/701849_sm.png?t=2011-01-17+01%3A38%3A56" title="srinidhi" alt="srinidhi" width="28" height="28"><a href="/users/srinidhi">srinidhi</a> </li>

                <li><img src="/static/icons/buddy/701848_sm.png?t=2011-01-17+01%3A36%3A07" title="akshaya" alt="akshaya" width="28" height="28"><a href="/users/akshaya">akshaya</a> </li>

              </ul>

    </div>

//-->

So that is a comment. Comments shouldn't be displayed in the browser.

Re: <!--- and //----> on the front page

But it shouldn't be a comment. It is supposed to be a sidebar or something like that.

Re: <!--- and //----> on the front page

It sounds like they just hid that part of the sidebar with an HTML comment, but your browser wasn't formatting it correctly for some reason. I don't have the problem on Firefox, and it's still there on lines 419-429 if you check the source.  hmm

Re: <!--- and //----> on the front page

The reason it is not showing is because <!-- and --> are pieces of EPIC PAGE SABOTAGE CODE!

Actually, they're HTML comment tags. Anything between them is not meant to be displayed, only left as a comment on what the HTML does. The Scratch Team were trying to hide the newest members section, but they didn't do their comments properly.

Anyway, they've fixed it now.
