I am coding in Yii and whenever I put any JS it tags it in CDATA.
Why is it getting added automatically? and will there be any problem if I remove it as I write my markup in HTML5.

cdata tags are necessary if you're putting scripts into pure XML, but are not necessary for HTML5. – Jerry May 20 '13 at 18:53

The thing is the framework Yii automatically adds it.. So will it interfere with HTML5? – Sankalp Singha May 20 '13 at 18:55

3@SankalpSingha no it won't. CDATA are harmless in html, including html5. – Arnaud Le Blanc May 20 '13 at 19:01

Like what arnaud said in the comment if the question, it wont affect your html 5 code. So its okay.
In addition, cdata tags are quite necessary to be used for scripts in XML, so its actually a feature from Yii.

Experiment by toggling the compatibility mode in IE. This should solve the issue. – Syakur Rahman Aug 16 '13 at 06:13
