Comments can make the HTML source codes more readable and easier to maintain.
Any text enclosed in a single tag that begins with <!-- and ends with --> will be ignored by a Web browser. For example, the following statement will be completely ignored by a Web browser.
<!--This is a comment.-->
The source codes below demonstrate the use of the comment tag:
| <HTML> <!--This is a comment, which will be ignored by a Web browser.--> <!-- The comment tag can also be used like this, so that multiple lines of text can be enclosed in a single comment tag. --> <HEAD> <TITLE>Enter the Page Title Here</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> The main contents of the HTML document should be entered here! </BODY> </HTML> |
Click here to review how the above document appears in a Web browser. Note that the two comment statements are not displayed.
You may select Source from the View menu of your Web browser to review the HTML source code.
