Adam Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I love the irony of this. Was looking for some information about data protection earlier, went to the government website to find this..

JonnoTheDev Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Typical. You'd think as we paid for this (the taxpayers) they would get people who knew what they were doing. Probably cost millions to make this website. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211769-data-protection-act-irony/#findComment-1103876 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonLewis Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 That's awesome, they're doing an awesome job. I remember this government application form I filled out on the web not long ago, there was a textarea and it said no more then 4,000 characters. I wrote in probably about 3,500 then went to submit and a JavaScript warning said "Please limit your response to 2,000 characters". Fail.

Yep, same with the E111 card application form, absolute garbage validation, CSS, javascript, etc https://www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/startApplication.do Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211769-data-protection-act-irony/#findComment-1103920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 You'd think government websites would be top-notch, following standards and actually working correctly. I guess not.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Must be by some ex MS programmers. Produce something that looked good when you showed it to your boss and met the deadline, but don't bother testing it to make sure it actually worked correctly for the people who would actually use it.
