There is no <comment> tag in HTML, though some browsers do support
such a thing. HTML comments are of the form <!-- comment --> and can
be inserted in DW either by simply typing them, or from the Insert >
Text Objects > Comment menu, or from the Insert toolbar, Common tab,
the icon that looks like !-- inside a speech bubble.

Comments in CSS are
/*  comment */

But what do you visitors like? Remember that they don't know the site
inside-out like you do so they may need the borders to tell them which
graphics are links.

>can I turn them onb and off per each graphic?

Yes. Set a class on the img.
img.obscure {border:none;}
img.obvious {border: 2px solid inherit;}

Sorry, I dont understand what you're trying to say here. If you have a
problem with some specific CSS code on your site then posting the URL
would help a lot.

To add, some tutorials, even very good ones, call <!DOCTYPE> and <!-- -->
"tags" even though they are not. It's an oversimplification which, aside
from being glaringly incorrect, doesn't really do any major harm to the
HTML author's ability to make a decent page.
