FP: Illegal Comments Removed from HTML Markup Bot

After you insert an HTML Markup in a page, illegal HTML comment code may gradually be deleted one or two characters at a time from the front of the Markup each time you save or reopen the page.

To resolve this behavior, use one of the following methods:

• If you are using Microsoft FrontPage 97, upgrade to FrontPage 98.
  
  -or-
  
  
• Use an alternate HTML code (or codes) that accomplishes the same thing.
  
  Note: Legal HTML comments begin with the following characters:

       <!--

  and end with the following characters:

       -->

  Example: <!-- This is a legal HTML Comment -->
