The way I know of hashing out code within ASP Classic is <%-- --%>. Would this be correct? Or is there another way?

Use a single quote, like:

' This is comment

ASP Classic uses the VBScript/Visual Basic language, and a single quote is commenting in that; <%-- is nothing (I am not 100% sure though).
