Script comments aren't removed when publish

Question

Using Expression Web 4, I select the remove the "Script comments" from the HTML Optimization Settings. The comments are removed from javascript contained in *.asp files, but not from javascript-only files contained in *.js. Is there a way to optimize these files when publishing?

Answer 1

AFAIK, no one here uses Optimize. With today's transfer speeds and bandwidths, the transfer savings is on the order of microseconds, and the resulting unreadable code is undesirable.

But, no, AFAIK, there are no optimization settings other than those presented when you set it up. Sorry...

cheers,
scott

Thanks Paladyn. I like to be liberal while I'm commenting my code, but I'd prefer others don't see my comments.
