Hi everyone,
I realize that "/* */" are used to add comments to CSS, but I'm not
clear on what "/* \*/" means, or what the single asterisk is used for.

PS - I've only just joined the list so I do apologize if this is perceived as off topic.
----------------------- Excerpt from Ted Drake:
But, it looked horrible in Firefox, so I dropped the two rules down to my > trusty Holly Hack section. /* \*/ * html #mainnav li { height: 1%; float:left; } * html #mainnav li a { height: 1%; } /* */
Hi :-)
The \*/ part looks somehow like a way to mess with a specific browser's parser so that certain parts of the CSS are ignore, although I have to admin that I don't know what browser actually falls for this.
Normally a singe asterisk is used as a wildcard in CSS. If you have for example this rule:
#menu * {
border-left: solid 2px #000;
}...it will add a black 2px left-border to every element within the #menu.
I hope this helps :-)
