I’m curious how other achieve deal with this situation.
If no comments exists, how, if the comment tag does not support the {if:else} conditional, can I prevent the mark-up intended for when comments exist from writing to my page?
{exp:comment:entries sort="asc"}
{if no_results}
No comments yet, be the first to write one!
{/if}
//The div below writes to my document even if no_results exist
//leaving me with incomplete information and causing validation errors
<div class="comment {switch="even|odd"}">
{url_as_author} wrote on {comment_date format="%F %d<sup>%S</sup>, %Y @ %G:%i"}
{comment}
</div>
{/exp:comment:entries}
