single line comment breaks javascript execution

Question

I load this html into webview with webview.loadData( data, "text/html", null);

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<body>
 <div ID="mydiv" style="width:100px; height:100px; border-style:solid;">
 </div>
</body>

<script>
mydiv = document.getElementById("mydiv");
//comment
mydiv.style.backgroundColor = "red";
</script>

</html>

This is just a square div with red background. JavaScript in webview is enabled. But line below //comment does't work. Without comment it works as intended. Can you confirm this? sdk 25

My page actually works correctly if I load it from server using loadUrl() and fails if I load it from string. — DROP DATABASE
