Definition and Usage
The HTML <!–…–> Tag comment is used to insert comments in the source code. Comments are not displayed in the browsers.
Example for HTML comment:
<!--This is a comment. Comments are not displayed in the browser--> <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
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.

Tips and Notes
You can use the comment tag to “hide” scripts from browsers without support for scripts (so they don’t show them as plain text):
Hints: The two forward slashes at the end of comment line (//) is the JavaScript comment symbol. This prevents JavaScript from executing the –> tag.
