Question

I’ve got the following in some CSS, probably introduced by Sylizer (and the new version is now complaining about it):

/*Disabling quote effect in IE5 +*/
   background /**/: url("bungalow_copy(1).css");

What does /**/ mean?

Answer 1

It’s a comment, see CSS3 syntax: 4.10. Comments.

You can add additional information in a comment, for example to remind you of certain fixes for some browsers or some special effects which were hard to achieve:

/* The basic class for styling */
.basic{
   color: blue;
   border: 1px solid; /* take text color */
}
