In my .cfm file I have a few CFFUNCTION
Within my CFFUNCTION I have a big chunk of <cfscript></cfscript>
Within <cfscript >I have codes written in block of if else if statements this way:

<CFFUNCTION name="Bla">

<cfscript>
....
....
if (listFind("3,5,6",getFormsForPlan.FormID) AND len(trim(A_New[53])))
{
.....
.....
.....
structFormText[numKey][1]["formText"] = " <b>CHOOSE THE PERCENTAGE OF.....</b>";
structFormText[numKey][1]["XPosition"] = "73";
structFormText[numKey][2]["XPosition"] = "73";
.....
.....
.....
}

other similar block of codes from here down

</cfscript>

<CFFUNCTION>

If I want to comment out ONE whole block of code, Starting from if.... { and end in } what should I use?
// on every line OR /* */ ?

Since I'm commenting out a block of code I would assume using /* */ is better and more logical than putting // on each line but when I use /* */, a few lines did not turn grey especially the text: <b>CHOOSE THE PERCENTAGE OF.....</b>"; but others turn grey
Please help!

That style commenting is illeagle inside a <cfscript>...</cfscript>
block. Inside a script block you use the following comment markup.

// comments a single like until the end of the character.

/* */ multiple line comment characters.

Syntax highlighting has nothing to do with the code, it's just your text
editor trying to be helpful by making things colourful. And sometimes the
text editor will cock it up (CFEclipse is especially good at this, I find).

If you *run your code* does it work as expected?
