This actually parses code:


<!----

<script language="javascript">

document.write("Hello");

</script>

// -->

but in HTML isn't the <!-- a comment? Shouldn't this not work? Also, what do the // do?

These are used in JavaScript so that it will not display as text if the browser does not have a JavaScript Engine. In other words, if your browser didn't support it you would see that written as text. With the comments there you wouldn't see it.
