Every computer language has a way of adding comments. Good coders use them liberally.
Use comments to make notes for yourself or for others that may use or view your code.
Comments in a computer program are not executed as part of the program. In HTML, they are not seen on your page.
You can use comments to:
The HTML Comment tag is a container.
It has a start tag ( <!-- ) and an end tag ( --> ).
Your comments go between the 2 tags.
If you only have a few words, you can put the whole thing on one line:
<!-- a few words -->
If you want to comment a few lines or want to leave space to add a section later, you can put the start tag on a line, then your comments, then the end tag on a line.
<!--
put guestbook code here
-->
<!-- blah blah blah blah more blah blah blah still more blah blah -->
<!-- add pictures of Fluffy add email link sign up for a counter and add counter code -->
Sometimes I leave notes for visitors that might source my pages.
<!-- Hey, how ya' doin'? Thanks for visiting my page. Have a super day! Gnubee -->
I have some large MIDI pages with lots of links. I want the links alphabetized. When I add a new song, I want to find the right section of the alphabet quickly.
I use triple letters of the alphabet in comments for easy navigating in my pages. To get to a section of the alphabet, I hit my find key, enter a letter 3 times and I go instantly to the right section.
It looks a bit like this:
<!-- aaa --> link link link <!-- bbb --> link link link <!-- ccc --> link link link etc.
I'm sure you can think of some useful ways to use the comment tag on your pages.
Happy coding!
