CSS doesn't support single-line comments, hence // breaks it. I'd still like if someone could expand upon using CDATA in CSS. >_< The same reason you use it on scripts: to declare the content as inconsequential to the DOM. CSS isn't markup thus it shouldn't sit in an SGML/XML document as such. Declaring the content of the stylesheet as character data does just that. I don't really see why the developers made this necessary when you have the <script></script> and <style></style> tags. Obviously the content inside them is going to be character data, so what's the point? I'm not saying to not do it, I just don't see why they decided to make us add them. Is it just easier for the engine to parse? |

Is it just easier for the engine to parse? Yes. It allows an XML engine to parse it. An HTML engine knows it's character data. An XML engine doesn't. |
