Notes
It is better to use the <!--. . .--> element, an alternate comment element that does not process enclosed HTML in all specification-conforming browsers.
Because the <comment> element is not supported by all browsers, commented text done in this fashion will appear in Netscape browsers. Although Internet Explorer still supports this element, IE documentation recommends use of the <!--. . .--> element.
