Blocking certain codes

[Jeremy M.]

If i want to block a certain code on a page, but not delete it entirely (in case i change my mind), would I use

For example:

Code Select Expand

<!-----------------------------
<div id="extras">
<h3>More info:</h3>
<p>This is the third column, which can be used in many different ways. For example, it can be used for comments, site news, external links, ads or for more navigation links. It is all up to you!</p>
</div>
<-----------------------------!>

block it from where?   
is that just a basic html page or is that inside an SMF template file?

basic html page

Not sure if you're asking a question here, but yes what you posted above will "block out" html from being rendered on a page. It's called "commenting out", which means that the code itself will still be displayed in the source, but the browser will not render it.

Don't need the ! in the closing tag, though it works either way.  You can just do this -

Code Select Expand



<!--div id="extras">
<h3>More info:</h3>
<p>This is the third column, which can be used in many different ways. For example, it can be used for comments, site news, external links, ads or for more navigation links. It is all up to you!</p>
</div-->
