I saw this in code. It blew my mind.

<% if (false) { %>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>    
<% } %>

This seems so patently illogical that it must be intentional. I can only assume that somehow this “came up”, and somebody inserted this as a work-around. There are, of course, no comments.

Why would someone do this?

    That’s a trick to get Visual Studio to include the javascript Intellisense for jQuery without actually emitting the script to callers.

    Here is an example from Scott Gu explaining it.
