You need CDATA if your code contains <
i.e.
<script language="javascript">
<xsl:comment>
<![CDATA[
if (x < y)
document.write(form.first_elem.value);
]]>
</xsl:comment>
</script>
But you can also do this
<script language="javascript">
<xsl:comment>
if (x < y)
document.write(form.first_elem.value);
</xsl:comment>
</script>
Which is the same
