Why is the JavaScript interpreter not confused by the method for hiding JavaScript from obsolete browsers? I understand that enclosing the script within a comment will be interpreted simply as a comment by a browser lacking the JavaScript interpreter. But why is the interpreter not confused by the comment opening? Thus, the interpreter will see is simply a JavaScript comment.

Answer I have is that it was programmed to look for the tags. The eariler versions did not look at them so that is why they skip it. The other versions look at them and will also check to see what version is listed.
I from programmed this type of logic into things I have done with SQL, javaScript, & ASP.
