RegEx finds match correctly but returns it incorrectly

JavaScript:

var docHeadText = document.head.innerHTML;
var patt =/\/*:.+?:*\//g;
patt.compile(patt);
docHeadText.match(patt);

HTML:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function JValues(){
alert('/*:hello-world:*/');
}
</script>
</head>

It returns :hello-world:*/ but I want it to return /*:hello-world:*/
