Comments and the JS engine

Netsurf's javascript engine seems to choke on this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
code goes here
//-->
</script>

I'm pretty sure that <!-- is meant to be treated as meaning the same thing as // in the sense that it represents the start of a single line comment.

Either the javascript engine is choking on <!-- because it doesn't understand it, or it is treating it the same as a html comment, which is even worse.

And has now been fixed in #3789. Thanks, Michael.

I've just discovered that NetSurf 3.6 was released on 2016 November 19
(8 days ago as I type this). It renders OK in 3.6 too.

Yes, the problem was accessing Bernard's front page, not his
networking one. The front page was badly rendered, but in only some
versions of the OS. A work-round has been found, but the bug report is
still active.

Best wishes,

Peter.

Specifically: it's OK in 3762 and faulty in 3763.

But that isn't the point, is it? Either setting or clearing "Hide
advertisements" shouldn't cause multiple lines of text to be
superimposed. Something is wrong.
