JavaScript Comments
Comments in JavaScript (and in other scripting languages, including ActionScript and other ECMA Script derivatives) are preceded by //. As in the previous example, being able to locate all comments in a page at once can be very useful.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> // Turn off fields used only by replace function hideReplaceFields() { document.getElementById(‘RegExReplace’).disabled=true; document.getElementById(‘replaceheader’).disabled=true; } // Turn on fields used only by replace function showReplaceFields() { document.getElementById(‘RegExReplace’).disabled=false; document.getElementById(‘replaceheader’).disabled=false; }
//.*
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> // Turn off fields used only by replace function hideReplaceFields() { document.getElementById(‘RegExReplace’).disabled=true; document.getElementById(‘replaceheader’).disabled=true; } // Turn on fields used only by replace function showReplaceFields() { document.getElementById(‘RegExReplace’).disabled=false; document.getElementById(‘replaceheader’).disabled=false; }
This is a simple one; //.* matches // followed by the comment body.
