I have an HTML file which is called from my website
Clicking on
About Us
Trevor
will call this file (picture.html)

There is a comment block at the top of the body enclosed by
<!-- and -->

Firefox is not reading <! and the rest of the comment is read as text and
printed to the page

Why?

I'm sure there's a reason, if you can give a url so we can see the source,
I'm sure a number of us would like to see.

Sorry, Chris

My website address is in my signature, so the file in question is
http://tandcl.homemail.com.au/picture.html

Since I posted, I experimented a bit more and changed this comment block
<!-- ================================================
Functions:
On external.js
--------------------
qsobj() Gets passed parameters
getPic() Loads specified picture
================================================ -->
to this:
<!-- ================================================
Functions:
On external.js
==============
qsobj() Gets passed parameters
getPic() Loads specified picture
================================================ -->

And it worked 8-)

I cannot comprehend why
Does Firefox regard a string of dashes somehow differently than IE :-?

Yes, it does. You cannot have double dashes within a legal HTML comment.
IE is ignoring that restriction. FF is not.
