IE seems to display that correcly. That also seems perfectly "legal" HTML code to me. It surely has to do with the regular expression that was used to check out the comments since the number of "-" in the comment-close tag "-->" seems to be quite relevant. I take 2 and it gets to work. I take other 2 and it gets messed again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit the given page. Actual Results: No left menu displayed Expected Results: Left menu should be displayed
