I use that to comment out something on html.. but here?? look at it

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$("ul.menubbcl").superfish({        
    animation: {height:'show'},   // slide-down effect without fade-in 
    delay:     1000,           // 1.0 second delay on mouseout
    autoArrows : true

This is for browsers that do not support Javascript. Supplying HTML comment tags around it will prevent it from being rendered as text in such browsers.
