How can I hide something on my web page?

The following appears a few times at the bottom of the web page I've created.
How can I hide it?

<![endif]-->

My guess is that it is intended to be a comment, (which will be ignored
by the brower when it renders the page).

In Frontpage, select the "Code" view (in the tabs at the bottom of the page)
Find the offending <!endif-->
Insert two hyphens after the ! - so that it looks like
<!-- endif -->

Thank you very much for your effort to help. I tried to make the change as
you suggested but I did not cause the entry to not appear. If you would like
to see what I mean scroll to the bottom of the opening page of this web site:

Just tried it with Foxfire, can't see the endif. Looks like you found the
problem and fixed it.

Tom - thanks for checking but when I go to my home page using IE I still see
two of these <![endif]--> things! Anyone else have an idea?

You really should just redo that page. Looks like it was generated with
Publisher or Word. All those VML textboxes. Hardly any of the page is
viewable in IE even. The text is yellow on white background, your intended
background isn't even displayed.

The page displays ok in Firefox2, but not in IE7 (ie I can see two
offending <![endif--> s in IE7).

Looking at the page source, it seems to be using a scripting language
that I'm not familiar with.
(Help. Suggestions anyone?).

The <!-- ... --> construct is an HTML comment.
It is often used to encapsulate javascript code so that non-javascript
browsers safely ignore it.

I don't recognise the [if ... ] [endif] script inside the html comments.
My guess is that the [if...] [endif] pairs are mismatched, ie you have
an extra [endif] lurking in the script.


Looking at the page using Firefox, the Firefox Error Console reports 46
occurances of :-

Warning: Unknown property 'mso-ignore'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://home.tampabay.rr.com/thebert/
Line: 0

This seems to be a missing style (ie you need to define mso-ignore in
your style sheets .css file, or in the page header).
Possibly this might confuse the browser renderer enough to get it
confused about matching [endif] s?

Sorry I can't help more, maybe someone can identify the scripting language.

Frontpage 2003 has a page verification tool (somewhere under the View
menu option - I'm not sat at my work PC with FP right now)
It reports a mismatched </head> for this page source, I think because of
missing closing tags:-

In lines 6 and 8 <bgsound> and <link> should really have closing tags.

The easiest way of adding these would be to change the closing > to />
ie:-

....
<link rel="File-List" href="index_files/filelist.xml"/>
<title>Our Home Pages</title>
<bgsound src="ASHOKAN.wav" loop="-1"/>
....

I don't know if this will cure the problem, but it can only help.
