The comment tag is supported in all major browsers.
Definition and Usage
The comment tag is used to insert comments in the source code. Comments are
not displayed in the browsers.
You can use comments to explain your
code, which can help you when you edit the source code at a later date. This is
especially useful if you have a lot of code.
It is also a good practice to use the comment tag to "hide" scripts from
browsers without support for it (so they don't show them as plain text):
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function displayMsg()
{
alert("Hello World!")
}
//-->
</script>
Note: The two forward slashes at the end of comment line (//) is the
JavaScript comment symbol. This prevents JavaScript from executing the --> tag.
