nrg_alpha Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 So I'm combing through the code at nhl.com and among the heap of garbage, I come across some eye-cringing stuff like this: <div style="width: 205px; float: left; margin-left: 20px;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"> <div style="width: 205px; float: left;"><a href="http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=413012"><img height="115" width="205" border="0" alt="" src="http://cdn.nhl.com/images/upload/2009/03/Roy_Avs_205x115.jpg" /></a> <h2><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font lang="en"><font lang="en">Roy ready to back Brodeur<br /> </font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></h2> Should Martin Brodeur equal Patrick Roy's record, he'll be on hand to offer his congratulations. <div class="btn80Lite" style="margin-top: 8px;"><a href="http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=413012">FULL STORY ›</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> I must say, after staring at that for a few moments in disbelief, I can't say I'm any closer in believing otherwise. When I first started venturing into learning web development, I used to think that all those big name professional sports sites and the like are probably doing it right. Would be really interesting to see what kind of cream of the crop-crap 'Hall of Shame stuff' there is out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpf Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Lol that's actually quite funny. Possibly one of the funniest pieces of code I've ever seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabrydesign Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Gotta love websites with W3C Valid HTML icons that don't validate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Fire Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 if you think that is bad, you should see some of the old tabled based html markup code I used to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpf Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 This forum seems to believe that it's valid xhtml 1.0, or so it says at the bottom of the page. However, I am yet to find a single page that is valid... I mean, if your page isn't quite valid, fair enough, but to state that it is when it obviously isn't is just arrogant.

Guess you have to complain to the SMF team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpf Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, it isn't the site's fault at all. Infact, the homepage of this site (which I assume was coded by the owners) is entirely valid. Actually...idk, is the homepage made by SMF of the owners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
