Can someone please confirm for me what I am doing wrong in declaring this multi-line commenting syntax?

what you are look for is this:

//this here is single, below is the markup to declare a multi-line commenting syntax
/* 

var a = 'foo A';

alert(a);

*/

var  b = 'foo B'; 

alert(b);

I hope this helps.
