CSS Comments
CSS comments are not
displayed in the browser, but they can help document your source code.
CSS Comments
Comments are used to explain
the code, and may help when you edit the source code at a later date.
Comments are ignored by
browsers.
A CSS comment is placed
inside the <style> element, and starts
with /* and ends with */:
Example
/* This is a single-line comment */
p {
color: red;
}
You can add comments
wherever you want in the code:
Example
p {
color: red; /* Set text color to red */
}
Comments can also span
multiple lines:
Example
/* This is
a multi-line
comment */
p {
color: red;
}
HTML and CSS Comments
From the HTML tutorial, you
learned that you can add comments to your HTML source by using the <!--...--> syntax.
In the following example,
we use a combination of HTML and CSS comments:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
p {
color: red; /* Set text color to red */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>My Heading</h2>
<!-- These paragraphs will be red -->
<p>Hello World!</p>
<p>This paragraph is styled with CSS.</p>
<p>CSS comments are not shown in the output.</p>
</body>
</html>
