HTML Ad converts opening HTML comment tag into <!--

I don't use AdSense, so I have no way to test. Patches welcome.

#433404: Adsense problem

I have the following problem; perhaps it will help find out more about the cause.

This is what i tried:

1. Create a HTML ad, using Filtered HTML input format, fill the textarea with the adsense code.
Result: ad wont show at all.

2. Create a HTML ad, using Full HTML input format, fill the textarea with the adsense code.
Result: ad wont show.

3. Create a HTML ad, using PHP code input format, fill the textarea with the adsense code.
Result: ad is correctly showing on the front page, but i cannot access the ad editing page anymore.
What is happening is that i get a full blank screen at the address http://localhost/node/10/edit?destination=admin/content/node.
Anyway, if BEFORE getting back to the editing page i do refresh the frontpage, allowing the ads to show themselves, when i go back to editing page its working again..for just one time. If i want to edit a second time i need to go front, refresh, then back again on edit.

Sometime another thing is happening aswell: edit page is opening, but in the HTML form tab i see nothing, neither i can open or close the tab, and every form control below (status combo boxes and other tabs) is not loaded on the page, it doesnt exists anymore. To make it show again i have to modify directly via database the textarea content, i.e. enclosing content in "" "". In this case i can still edit the ad, but its not showing anymore.

Hope this can help fix the matter.

same problem here

I'd same problem.

I've got redirection or blank screen or Error:Invalid Address, no matter of HTML input or PHP.

What I've found is weird. Check this out:

<script type="text/javascript">
&lt;!--google_ad_client = "pub-1587915788862352";google_ad_slot = "1457114108";google_ad_width = 468;google_ad_height = 60;-->
</script><script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

If didn't noticed, that < symbol is replaced with HTML name <

I know similar issuewith Blogger. When I tried to inject AdSense code into Blogger posts I've found than nothing shows up. General solution was to change < > and " symbol with HTML name equivalent. I've done it and it worked.

Here we had something similar, but I can't mind why it worked that way.

I'm thinking of Why does AdSense code is like that. I'mean why comments are into <script> ?

If You've got similar problem please review Your's site code and post it here!

Cheers.

p.s. sorry for my English grammar, I forget a lot since my school-years...

edit:
Know I far more concerned. I think this is Drupal issue, or maybe just input format issue. I've changed Default Input Format to PHP and know it is fine. Ads shows.

I'm having the same problem, but it's not related to google ads. This happens for any JavaScript add that has a html comment tag within the script tags. You can test with something like this:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
       this is a HTML comment
//--></script>

and then view the source code when the ad is displayed.

Found the problem, it actually has nothing to do with Ad, it's a flaw in htmlcorrector filter. Patch here:
