*ahem*

Of course, one can just comment out the end comment tag like:

// end hiding contents -->

Note though that the place I found it
(http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/ - an excellent HTML reference with
lots of compatibility notes) had it as:

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- hide script from old browsers
function getname(str) {
  alert("Hi, "+ str + "!");
}
// end hiding contents -->
</script>

:)


Sorry for being so noisy ;)
