Strange parsing of comments.

[andwhyisit]

For some reason CSS Lint reads /*/ as a complete comment (instead of an opening comment and a slash) and then processes the rest of the comment as css. No browser has done this in over 9 years.

Can you please provide some sample CSS and describe what you saw when you ran it through CSS Lint?

Try this line as an example:

//remainderofcomment/ .dummyclass {font-size:12px;}

A browser would parse this as CSS:

.dummyclass {font-size:12px;}

..and this as a comment:

//remainderofcomment/

Css lint parses the following as CSS:

remainderofcomment*/ .dummyclass {font-size:12px;}

..and this as a comment:

/*/
