JavaScript single-line comments begin with a double forward slash (//)

[mikilion]

The inline JavaScript code with single-line comments begin with a double forward slash (//) causes to comment the remainder of javascript code on minimized html file; e.g.:

<script>
    var a; // this is a comment
    a = 3;
</script>

Minified:

<script>var a; // this is a comment a = 3;</script>

Hi @mikilion - thanks for submitting this. I will look into it!

The solution is pretty easy: just remove the comment and then minimize the code.

Still an issue if no space between the double slash and the comment ie. //this is a comment
