7.5.3 Comment Statements

Creates comments that are ignored by the JScript parser.
Syntax 1
Single-line Comment:
// comment
Syntax 2
Multiline Comment:
/*
comment
*/
- comment
- The text of any comment you want to include in your script.
Syntax 3
//@CondStatement
Syntax 4
/*@
CondStatement
@*/
- CondStatement
- Conditional compilation code to be used if conditional compilation is activated. If Syntax 3 is used, there can be no space between the "//" and "@" characters.
Remarks
Use comments to keep parts of a script from being read by the JScript parser. You can use comments to include explanatory remarks in a program.
If Syntax 1 is used, the parser ignores any text between the comment marker and the end of the line. If Syntax 2 is used, it ignores any text between the beginning and end markers.
Syntax 3 and Syntax 4 are used to support conditional compilation while retaining compatibility with browsers that do not support that feature. These browsers treat those forms of comments as Syntax 1 and Syntax 2 respectively.
