Is it valid HTML to comment out whole blocks (multiple lines) of HTML
by putting <!-- at the top and --> at the very bottom?

Or do you need to put the tags at the begining and end of each line.

It seems to work - just wasn't sure if it was valid.

You'll have to seperate between using it to uncomment html tags and to hide scripts/css data.

HTML:
It's better style to put them on a seperate line, but it's valid to use them everywhere. Remember that comments are markups, so don't place them inside another markup. Also avoid using a string of hypons ("---") inside a comment.

Commenting scripts in JavaScript:
The JavaScript engine allows the string "<!--" to occur at the start of a SCRIPT element, and ignores further characters until the end of the line. JavaScript interprets "//" as starting a comment extending to the end of the current line. This is needed to hide the string "-->" from the JavaScript parser.

CSS tags:
Use the following form to hide content of the style attribute for non-conforming user agents:
