JavaScript Comments

Hi,

On page 7 of the JavaScript section is says that comments in javascript for single lines can be made by using: //

If though you wanted to comment out multiple lines below each other without wanting to type '//' after each line, all you need to do is:

Add /* at the start of the first line you want to comment out and */ at the final line you want to comment out.

Example:

Language: Javascript
/* function showMsg() 
	{
	window.status = msg
	msg = msg.substring(1,msg.length) + msg.substring(0,1)
	scrollmsgID = setTimeout("showMsg()",150)  // Inserted to have scrolling message stop when mouse pointer over rhino image.
	}
 */

instead off:

Language: Javascript
// function showMsg() 
//	{
//	window.status = msg
//	msg = msg.substring(1,msg.length) + msg.substring(0,1)
//	scrollmsgID = setTimeout("showMsg()",150)  // Inserted to have scrolling message stop when mouse pointer over rhino image.
//	}

Yes, your choice. It depends how much you want to comment out. I sometimes use // although I can use /*. Habits.
