What is document createComment() Method in JavaScript?
The document createComment() method is used to dynamically create a comment in an HTML source code using JavaScript.
You should know that creating comments using this method is independent from the document. That means we need to pick an element in a document and add this comment as its child or parent, etc. so that the comment appears in the source code at the right place.
This could be done using a method like appendChild().
Note: comments are invisible on a page and are only visible in the source code.
