No comment...

What is hiding the comments e.g. on this blog http://ofdreamsandseams.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/9-shirts-off-his-back.html
from Netsurf?

JavaScript seems to be involved, but the actual body of the comment text
appears in the form

<li id='bc_0_8B' class='comment' kind='b'><div class='avatar-image-container'><img src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/anon36.png'></img></div><div id='c3866699261828389934' class='comment-block'><div id='bc_0_8M' class='comment-header' kind='m'><cite class='user'><a rel='nofollow' href='http://alittleboutiquenearhome.com'>Laura</a></cite><span class='icon user'></span><span class='datetime secondary-text'><a rel='nofollow' href='http://ofdreamsandseams.blogspot.com/2012/05/9-shirts-off-his-back.html?showComment=1336690576841#c3866699261828389934'>May 11, 2012 12:56 AM</a></span></div><p id='bc_0_8MC' class='comment-content'>I absolutely adore this! Nice job!</p><span id='bc_0_8MN' class='comment-actions secondary-text' kind='m'><a kind='i' href='javascript:;' target='_self' o='r'>Reply</a><span class='item-control blog-admin pid-548093041'><a o='d' target='_self' href='http://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=1991608771892905541&amp;postID=3866699261828389934'>Delete</a></span></span></div><div id='bc_0_8BR' class='comment-replies'></div><div id='bc_0_8B_box' class='comment-replybox-single'></div></li>

and indeed if I select and drag out the entire <div id='comment-holder'>
section from the source, then double-click on the selection, I get an
ordinary Ordered List. So what is being used to hide the text?



Edit: just found it. Right down the bottom:

<style type='text/css'>
#comments {display:none;}
</style>

*sigh* Now why would anyone do that? And is there any way of
overriding it?
