Comments in Smarty templates

[ravindranathk]

Hi,
i have been trying to comment some html codes in the module templates. I used the smarty comments {* and *} but its showing up in the site and code too. What is the problem ?

The only reasons I can think smarty comments wouldn't work is if you are using them between {literal}{/literal} tags or if you are using them in a file that isn't a tpl file. It is hard to help without more information like which file you are trying to use the smarty comments in and what the code is.

{*
<!--
<input type="text" id="dwl_url" name="dwl_url" value="http://">
Invalid URL

-->
*}

the output shows
{* *} in the content side.

i am trying to add comments in the module i created.

I can't see anything wrong with that code that would cause comments to not work. If you PM me your module, I can investigate further.
