title: Javascript/Jquery commenting causing errors in IE
body: <p>So this post is not so much of a "please help me fix it" post as much as it is a "why would changing that make it work?". So I had some javascript/jquery written that was working in firefox and chrome, but IE threw errors.</p>
  
  <p>I could not figure it out even with the helpful posts from users here at stackoverflow.  I eventually stumbled upon the answer (as I seem to find myself doing a lot with coding).</p>
  
  <p>I was doing a somewhat rigorous style of commenting taught to me by one of my computer science professors where a function would have commenting such as this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>//@ describe function
  //@ params: param1 - function, param2 - function
  //@ etc....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I foolishly threw this into my javascript only to find out that IE really did not care for this much at all.  When I removed the @ symbols the code worked perfectly.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is why this caused errors in IE? Shouldn't whatever follows the '//' comments not matter?</p>
