Hi all,

I am having the file which contains the data as
 ABC is commented using HTML Comments -->
<html>
<body>
HTML Data
</body>
</html>

The whole file was formed by myself using java. For my project purpose am commenting some data's(dynamic data) in that file.

After the open comment am having the two close comments.
Second one is the actual close comment first is the data.
At the time of store and executing the file in browser it shows the ABC is commented using HTML comments --> after that only executing the html tags.

I want the solution to escape all the html comments without encoding (> or any numbers) except the last one in by file.

At the time of seeing the view source of my file it has to show the exact copy what i typed previous.

Thanks in advance...

You might consider handling it in the JSP or Java code. You have three levels of comments available to you -

HTML Comments

JSP Comments

Java programming language comments

If you read the specifications it should say something like this:

An HTML comment begins with '' and does not contain '--' and/or '>' anywhere inside the comment opening and closing tags.

The parser will see the first one and close the comment, that is how it works. The only way you get around it is to escpae it or do not output it in the first place.

Right, if you use JSP comments in your jsp page, the comments won't reach the html page.

I want my playground back. Here, I'll give you this tiny ad for it:
