IE works correct on this tag. (even if its not w3c-conform, the tag should be ignored or recognised as opening and closing comment-tag.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.load the url 2.and you see a white block in the middle of the page 3. Actual Results: you see a white block in the middle of the page Expected Results: you should see some details about some code-fragments.. if this is not a bug, it should be a task for the tech evangelism guys...
No, it is not a bag at all (and IE work incorrect here). This page started with: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">. So all comments should be in strict mode. -- is open and close SGML comments, so if > inside in on of this comments, it should be igored (otherwise such scripts <!-- a>b --> be broken). Look at bug 186768 comment 17 for exact definition of comment-processing. (and others comment of bug 186768 for other questions of this case).
