Need Javascript code to remove sections from a string

HI all... I have a string in javascript that looks something like this:

a="/* COMMENT ! */A.at_1:hover, A.at_pow_by_5978:hover { color: #F9E67F; text-decoration: underline; }/* COMMENT2 */.at_image { border-width:0px;}";

I need some code (regular expression) that will remove all the text between the /* and */ set of strings.

So for example in this above string I want it to look like this afterwards:


a="A.at_1:hover, A.at_pow_by_5978:hover { color: #F9E67F; text-decoration: underline; }.at_image { border-width:0px;}";


Can someone write that for me please?

 

All sorted... for anyone interested solution is:

a.replace(/\/\*.*?\*\//g, "")

 

Thanks for the solution, ruby. I was looking for something similar myself!
