[OPEN-ILS-DEV] commenting out elements in xul

IIRC your issue correctly, I think you're wanting to hide the search
result summary information (because of the way it behaves when a whole
lot of z39.50 targets have been selected).

In that case, try tweaking this:

<hbox id="result_message" />

to become:

<hbox id="result_message" hidden="true" />

What's happening is the javascript is creating <description/> elements
and dynamically shoving them inside that hbox as children.  An
alternative to hiding it may be to give it some fixed dimensions and
set it overflow with scrollbars.

<hbox id="result_message" class="my_overflow" style="width: 800px" />

May also want to try it as a vbox.

<vbox id="result_message" class="my_overflow" style="height: 30px" />

Specifying style attributes like that is supposed to be bad, so you
could also put this into server/skin/global.css like so:

.z3950_result_messages { height: 30px; }

And then do

<vbox id="result_message" class="my_overflow z3950_result_messages" />
