That is preferable, yes, but then you have to tell him that he must escape the
"<" and "&" characters and avoid using any "--" sequences as are so often used
in decrement operations.
Here is an example for Gene's benefit (note the <)
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<xsl:comment>
var aname='pull';
var NS4 = (document.layers) ? 1 : 0;
var IE = (document.all) ? 1 : 0;
var DOM = (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >=5) ? 1 : 0;
var MAC = ((navigator.appVersion.indexOf("PPC") >0) ||
(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") >0)) ? 1 : 0;
//global nav
function ShowLayer(){return};
function OutLayer(){return};
if (document.layers) {
appVer = navigator.appVersion.substring(0,4);
if (appVer < 4.06) NS4 = 0;
}
if (NS4 || IE || DOM) globalPulldown = 1;
if (!globalPulldown) event = null;
//</xsl:comment>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
...

</HTML>
