XML comments in gadget code

Good morning...

I've tried developing my first gadget, it so far so good, I
think I'm
ready to release it to the world.  But I wanted to some
comments before
I did, unfortunately they seemed to break the gadget?!

I start with something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
?>

<!--
  These are the comments of my Google Gadget!  Go Go
Gadget!!!
-->

<Module>
  <ModulePrefs title="__UP_language__"
...

And it's brtoken - nothing displays on my homepage - not
even the
title!!!

AFAIK comments in an XML file can be outside the root
element so this
should be okay, right?

Hey Schultzter,

Your syntax for comments in XML documents are correct:
<!-- comments -->

However, our parsers will *not* allow you to have comments
*before*
your root element, which in this case is <Module>. 
Simply move the
comments below <Module> and you should be fine.

e.g.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
?>
<Module>
<!--
  These are the comments of my Google Gadget!  Go Go
Gadget!!!
-->
  <ModulePrefs>...</ModulePrefs>

Thanks,
Dann

Good afternoon...

Thanks for the reply, it explains things.

I tried the comments in the <Module> section and it
works now.  I've
submitted the Gadget to appear in the directory.

Thanks.
