JavaScript supports Java-style comments:

• Comments on a single line are preceded by a double-slash (//).
• Comments that span multiple lines are preceded by a /* and followed by a */. Multiple-line comments may not be nested.

[edit] Example: Single line comment

// This is a single line comment

   It can be of any length and you can put whatever you want here,
   excluding another multiple-line comment. */
