Hi Rod,
Are you sure it's " If " and " Else " rather than " if " and " else "?
Hope that helps.

QC.

Since there is no such thing as /the/ "Javascript parser", that is unknown.
At least current _JavaScript_ and JScript parsers will regard the following
text up to the newline as a comment. That is a known extension to
ECMAScript, but one that should not be relied upon (see below for details).
Javascript one line comments are started with "//"
That is true for all ECMAScript implementations.
The script is not going to be parsed.
That is only half the truth. Provided that
1. what was posted is HTML, or XHTML served as text/html (the latter is
recommended against), and
2. the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine or Microsoft JScript is used,
the script /is/ going to be parsed. The `script' element is regarded as
CDATA there, and is therefore passed as-is to the respective script engine
up to the first ETAGO delimiter encountered ("</"; standards compliant) or
</script> end tag (some implementations). Due to the aforementioned
extension of ECMAScript, those script engines will ignore this line.
However, there are several reasons why it is strongly recommended against
using use "comment declaration" delimiters in that way:
- This extension of ECMAScript cannot be considered to be interoperable,
and there is no fallback.
- If the markup is XHTML, properly served as application/xhtml+xml or the
resource name includes a corresponding name suffix (.xhtm*), the `script'
element content is regarded PCDATA where all comments may be removed by
the (XML) parser before building the parse tree.
- It is completely unnecessary. HTML 2.0 is marked obsolete since 6 years
now, and pre-HTML-3.2 user agents went out of fashion long before; if
there is still one, or if it renders the content of a `script' element
within the `head' element, it is broken.
Check Firefox's Javascript console.
The scripting language Firefox supports is called JavaScript for a reason.

Yes it is. Your lack of understanding of the English language is evident
in your assumption about the statement.
At least current _JavaScript_ and JScript parsers will regard the following
text up to the newline as a comment. That is a known extension to
ECMAScript, but one that should not be relied upon (see below for details).
Not a lot of what you write after your pedantics start is worth reading
sometimes.
Javascript one line comments are started with "//"
That is true for all ECMAScript implementations.
Does that mean you have tested them ALL or are you assuming again?
The script is not going to be parsed.
That is only half the truth. Provided that
It is not even half true.
1. what was posted is HTML, or XHTML served as text/html (the latter is
recommended against), and
If it is HTML then it will get parsed by the Script Engine.
2. the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine or Microsoft JScript is used,
Or any other script engine that honors the script tag.

CDATA there, and is therefore passed as-is to the respective script engine
up to the first ETAGO delimiter encountered ("</"; standards compliant) or
</script> end tag (some implementations).
Name one under 5 years old that stops at the first </ when being served
HTML.
Due to the aforementioned extension of ECMAScript, those script engines
will ignore this line.
ECMAScript is irrelevant. It is not an "extension of ECMAScript", it is
an extension of Javascript and JScript. There is a reason why the script
tag doesn't say:
<script type="text/ecmascript">
However, there are several reasons why it is strongly recommended against
using use "comment declaration" delimiters in that way:
- This extension of ECMAScript cannot be considered to be interoperable,
and there is no fallback.
Sure there is. Name a browser that balks on it with HTML.
- If the markup is XHTML, properly served as application/xhtml+xml or the
resource name includes a corresponding name suffix (.xhtm*), the `script'
element content is regarded PCDATA where all comments may be removed by
the (XML) parser before building the parse tree.
There are no suffixes/extensions on the Web. But, you should feed a
"resource" (as you refer to it) with a "suffix" of .xhtml to IE sometime.
- It is completely unnecessary. HTML 2.0 is marked obsolete since 6 years
now, and pre-HTML-3.2 user agents went out of fashion long before; if
there is still one, or if it renders the content of a `script' element
within the `head' element, it is broken.
It wasn't "broken", it was doing what it was designed to do. Check Firefox's Javascript console.
The scripting language Firefox supports is called JavaScript for a reason.
You should learn how to read plain English, and apply common sense to
it, before babbling your BS. Especially in an English group. Your BS
behavior may work for you in de.* but I don't post there.

It's a matter of definition.
While the original claim was vague (what is a one-line comment?)
and technically incorrect for some readings (/*foo*/ could be a
one-line comment), the most accepting reading is that the poster
knows that "//" starts a comment to end of line.

An HTML parser? The W3C validator.
Browsers are more forgiving, but they are not the only HTML parsers
around :)

That is true but I wasn't even referring to the definition of a one line
comment. I was referring to the fact that unless you can test something
in 100% of environments then you can't claim it as fact. And the lack of
dis-proof isn't proof.

Very true.
It is correct that an ECMAScript implementation must also satisfy
this. (Well, a compliant ecmascript implementation, but isn't VBScript
just a *very* non-compliant ECMAScript implementation :).
And my point is that there could very well be a browser/UA
implementation that is an "ECMA Implementation" that has a bug in it
that doesn't handle // properly.
Doesn't make it a non-ECMA implementation, just makes it buggy and it
doesn't handle // properly.
But it is all moot, it's just my opinion of ECMA coming out again. :-\ the script /is/ going to be parsed. The `script' element is regarded as

He was referring to "script engines", not HTML parsers. "To the
respective script engine". The debate has been had here whether <!-- in
a script block should be parsed by the HTML engine or the Script Engine,
it is boring but in the archives.
But, is the W3C Validator an "ECMA Implementation" with a script parser?<G>
