I think that's your problem (there is a typo in the close of the comment). In other words, Konqueror seems to be displaying the page correctly. The other browsers are probably (incorrectly) treating end-of-line as end-of-comment. When you "View Document Source" in Konqueror, it highlights the markup to make it easier to spot such problems, and comments stand out pretty distinctly. In fact, it appears there are a few other places with that same typo (closing a comment with "--!>"). - Bob
