Re: Removing html comments with regex

In addition to the above cautions, a simple regex may also delete some Server Side Include commands since they look a lot like comments.

<!--#include virtual="/ssi/navbarB.ssi" -->
<!--#echo var="SERVER_NAME" -->
<!--#echo var="Document_URI" -->
<!--#config timefmt="%Y/%m/%d at %H:%M:%S %Z" -->
<!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" -->

If that appears in an HTML document, they not only look like comments, they are HTML comments. Abigail	[reply]

If SSI commands appear in the html sent to the browser, then something went wrong at the server. So you're right from the browsers point of view - they are comments. But if he is working with source html, on the server, he could run into that situation. -ted-	[reply]
