Many thanks. but i think it was Tom Mertz who replied with CTRL + / on Windows which seems to comment and uncomment blocks of code in one go.

Commenting in JavaScript can take the form of single line comments

// this line would be commented

or multiline comments, which may also appear on one line, but don't have to.

/* this text would be commented */

/*
this text
would also
be commented
*/

/* this text
would be commented as well */

Does that help?
