[julien]

in fact the <!-- hide the text but Firefox 4 tanslate -- > as a --> so close too soon the comment code (see example below)

<a class="bn" href='articles.php?manage=11'>Type</a>
			<br /> --- > <a class="bn" href='articles.php?manage=1'>Catégories</a>
			<br /><br />
                </td>
              </tr>
              -->

will be displayed

example :
 <!--
              <tr> 
                <td valign="top"><img src="charte/charte_bn_puce.gif" width="5" height="9" align="absmiddle"></td>
                <td><a class="bn" href='#'>title</a>
			<br /> --- > <a class="bn" href='articles.php?manage=11'>Type</a>
			<br /> --- > <a class="bn" href='articles.php?manage=1'>Catégories</a>
			<br /><br />
                </td>
              </tr>
              -->
