This does not happen in IE or Safari only happens in firefox. Even my development tool shows the area as commented out, but firefox shows a --> in on the page. Reproducible: Always
Don't use more than 2 hypens inside a comment - due to the SGML rules, this can create unexpected results. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214476#c4 It will be fixed in Firefox 4.0, which uses the HTML5 parser, not the HTML4 one.
