Info: Including the characters "--" within script in a view file results in a syntax error
Article TypeInfo
TitleIncluding the characters "--" within script in a view file results in a syntax error
<i>I am trying to write script within a view that uses the decrement operator ("--"). When I save my view, I get a syntax error, "Illegal sequence in comment". Here is an example of my code:</i>

<pre>
&lt;!--#
var counter = 10;
while (counter != 0)
   {
   counter--;
   }
#--&gt;
</pre>

<p>To work around this problem, write your script in a Westside class file, and import that class file into your view to use the function. For more information, see <a href="?Topic=westsidescript/wsscriptclasses" class="mainLink2">Building Westside Script Classes</a>.
