My O'Reilly Javascript book tells me that Javascript supports C-
style and C++-style comments. The only mention of HTML-style
comments relates to really, really, old browsers.
I think your code above is genuinely wrong, although I guess
it might be supported by some browsers that are deliberately
written to be tolerant of errors.
I'd recommens that you change your comment line to:
// here is some javascript
