Hi,
My site looks fine in both ie and safari, but I had someone using firefox tell me today that they were getting code on the product details pages. I check and actually my home page is jacked up too. I was using <!-- BLAH BLAH --> to comment a piece of template used in the head.tpl (if you look right before the searh bar across the top you can see the opening "<!--" and actually that searh area is the part of code I commented out (look fine in ie and safari. Can anyone explain this to me? Also check out any product details page and let me know if you can see what is going on. IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY PRODUCTS WITH VARIANTS ARE HAVING THE PROBLEMS. You can see in my reed diffuser catagory, the first product "orange blossom 8oz diffuser" is fine but check the 4oz kits right below it and it's all code. Thanks for your help.

Firefox isn't messing up your site, you messed up your site Never use html comments, always use {* *} to comment out code in Smarty templates. Try replacing the html comments with Smarty comments and see if that helps.

That's what I meant but it is always more fun to blame someone else... I'll give that a shot and see what happens. I don't think that has anything to do with why my details pages are messed up though. Any thoughts on that? Ok, it looks like there is a --> at the end of all the code on my product details page so I must have commented something out there too. I'm not sure which template it was though. I noticed that in the /customer/main/product.tpl there are <!-- comment tags but I don't think that I put them there ie.
<!--
var min_avail = 1;
var avail = 1;
var product_avail = 1;
-->

Should I change these as well or are they correct?

You are right, your product page is SERIOUSLY messed up. I'd restore the original (make a backup of your current one first) and then slowly piece it back together.

those are correct, its part of javascript (legacy support)

After looking closer at the code in my head.tpl file i think that my <!-- comment is screwing up both the home page and my product details pages. I'm not sure how ie and safari are reading it correctly either. I'll do some work and see if this sorts out everything. If I view the page source it looks like there are some include files between my opening and closing comments and some closing --> in those files are interfearing with my commenting, as well as some {if} {else} statements. I probably should select smaller sections of code ( or change to {* *} ) like balinor suggested.

Yep, as soon as I removed my comments, everything is good. What I am trying to do is remove the search bar from across the top of the page. I have placed a copy of it at the top of the right nav column. Is there an easy way to comment out that bit of code in the head.tpl file? There is a lot of {if} {else} code refering to fast lane checkout which I'm using so I wanted to comment it out instead of delete it. Which part of this do I comment out to just get rid of the search bar?
