Amusing

Not only is this horribly written HTML… (actually it’s not HTML, it’s tag soup), but it is funny none the less.

    yeah it took me entirely to long to understand that one. Of course that could be due to the fact that I am in fact not a giant computer nerd!

    I could probably work on programming protection from that happening…

    but that woudl take time and effort better spent on developing my photo gallery that i hope to be launching pretty soon.

    Man I’m shocked. Jason didn’t even close his

    tag. Font tags are so passe.

    oh wait I did.. it actually interpereted it as html. sweet. hence why there is a paragraph where my <p> was supposed to be.

    Well, speaking as someone who, ahem, hand codes, ahem, the HTML in his blog posts… actually, that is completely unrelated, I just wanted to throw it in. Shouldn’t he put his paragraph notation at the BEGINNING of the paragraph? And really, there should be an HTML tag at the beginning, as well. I really like the fact that Fox Trot has some comics written exclusively for Geeks and Pop Culture fanatics, and no one else can get them. My mom will probably send me this one, too, having no idea what it is about.

    I love Fox Trot as well.

    There are several things wrong with his “HTML” (that isn’t actually HTML).

    • 1. it is highly inaccessible (font size +3…, he should use relative font sizing (.8em, for example))
    • 2. is a deprecated tag. he should have used
    • 3. all tags need to have a closing tag.

      • I could go on… but i think that is enough.

  14. mike said on: November 6th, 2003 at 4:02 pm

    which is a depreciated tag?

  15. Derek said on: November 6th, 2003 at 5:50 pm

    It is a tag that is no longer fully supported; basically obscelete as far as current web standards for styles and accessability are concerned.

    Yeah, you may know all this stuff, but I know not to put HTML tags in my comments and look like an idiot because they don’t show up in the window . Hehehe. How deep does the rabbit hole go?
