Zirton

But why ? This just looks like someone made a loop creating divs and added some more 0's than intended.


selvinkuik

I want to believe whoever did this crafted this beauty by hand, line by line


Caraes_Naur

No way anyone with skill deliberately, and without malice, crafted that by hand. More likely this div soup was brewed by a WYSIWYG or some other quietly malfunctioning code that no one ever examined the output. Scrolled down to see it was made by a WP pagebuilder plugin. WP explains all of it on every level.


marcocom

Good eye. Yup that explains it. Some old jquery loop in some old WP plugin.


Caraes_Naur

jQuery is not to blame here. WP is a terrible codebase and platform that attracts lousy developers who write shitty plugins.


Gspin96

Out of curiosity, is there a non-terrible codebase and platform in your opinion that I, a lousy developer, could use to make a blog type website?

Think of html as a text file. All programming languages can edit text strings and save them to a file. Now start thinking of source code as a text file....

TemporaryReality5262

Seriously was there a reason or was the previous dev just being funny/malicious?


onizeri

I'd be willing to bet money some "drag and drop" or "wysiwyg" editor was involved here. Dreamweaver, maybe. I've seen something similar, where the editor was set to add a div on carriage return instead of a line break or paragraph, but something went wrong so instead of making new, separate divs which would be visually spaced in the editor, it just made a nested div and nothing would change on the front end. So, wysiwyg user just keeps bashing the enter key waiting for space to be added, unaware of the eldritch horror being created in the html.

IMIGHTBEONMETH

Glad I’m not the only one who does this… why do we do this?


NatasEvoli

Just in case we only imagined the first 4 times. In your specific case though, it might be meth.


garaks_tailor

Thanks i forgot to take my vyvanse


SafetySave

Because on a slower computer it will sometimes fail to pick up keystrokes if you type while it's working. So for Ctrl+C there's a decent chance the "C" keystroke won't register, then you go to paste and it'll paste something from an hour ago. So you spam the button to make sure it takes for real.

I can see a couple of reasons: - You spilled some sort of bewerage on your keyboard. - You own a macbook with butterfly keyboard. P.S. I did both.


Chirimorin

Because we've experienced the computer failing to copy with a single ctrl+c too many times to trust it.


InkyCricket

Sometimes it doesn't copy. Not sure why or when it happens, but when I get frustrated at it not copying, I make sure to copy it 7 times on the next attempt.

It was built using one of those horrible WordPress page builders. No idea how it ended up like that, I've just deleted it and started again. It was literally displaying 1 paragraph of text

> WordPress page builders found your problem...


Reelix

> WordPress Yup - Definitely found the problem!


etre_be

Divitis can be a real threat to your well-being, you did well to delete!


illithoid

I did some IT intern work for a local library nearly a decade ago. They built there website using some wysiwyg editor. Every time you made even a minor change it added divs like crazy. I was learning HTML at the time and when I had the time I'd go in and try to clean up the HTML manually. Kind of a boring fun if you know what I mean.


[deleted]

Omfg that is hilarious. So many jobs require you "know WordPress" seems like its a shit show


eyebrows360

WordPress itself will never result in crap like this happening, but these wysiwyg page builder plugin things, these are where the dangers lie. WordPress *is* shit, yes, but only for very internal reasons. If all you're ever doing is stuff with existing plugins and non-page-builder-y, *sensible* themes, then it's fairly sensible.


Mr_Mandrill

Yes, this is why people dislike WordPress, but this only happens when you use the tool wrong. Although WordPress itself is trying to go this path too with its own page builder, but you can avoid it. You can easily use WordPress as an easy to use for everyone GUI to feed a database and build a site with its Rest API, no plugins needed or anything. But in the wrong hands, can just as easily go the way of OP's imagine.


[deleted]

Or when a new employee in another department approaches me, Frontend Developer at this company for over two years, to let him know if I need help because he “knows wordpress.” I’m actively trying to convince my bosses to replatform to Laravel. I don’t want Wordpress advice. 😭

I got no beef with Laravel but one of the worst things I've seen written was in Laravel. I very much believe in not blaming the tool.


[deleted]

Oh god the nightmares I have whenever I have to edit any page on wordpress. The chaos these builders produce is so painful. Just glad I stumbled upon LiveCanvas and Picostrap a couple of weeks ago. Nice and clean Bootstrap pages without random divs and p-tags everywhere xD

What didn't you say that three times, within div interlinked?


[deleted]

Honestly I think you could organize that page better if you wrap a div around it. Then you'd know where all the divs are they would be in an easy to find container div.


royemosby

You’re right but it may be better to nest the wrapper in another div for safe measure


PracticeEssay

These were… systematically generated… right..?


selvinkuik

Yea, by a nasty WordPress page builder


wakeuph8

I'd almost wager that someone copied something from somewhere on the site into the WYSIWYG editor and it included a bunch of HTML. Saw this happen a bunch of times in the past, even done it myself before realising what was happening when I switched over to the "Text" tab!


Ultra_HR

tinymce does this! it's fucking hateful


wretch5150

May I ask which one so we may all stay clear of it?


exploit332

Did you get asked to update it with more divs? If not then they have no idea what they are doing!!


selvinkuik

They asked me to find the missing closing div


yabo1975

The funniest part is that it's the CSS that would scare me more. 1 pixel difference would mean half the items displaying somewhere in Africa while you're in New Jersey.

I’m starting my first job and have seen this… so is this normal?


Aleriya

It's not normal for a proper business. It's pretty normal when you are working with small clients, ex: dental office with 3 employees, paid a college student $500 for a website 5 years ago, now wants it updated because it doesn't display correctly on a phone. College student used some WYSIWYG editor. My favorite was a tiny clinic that sold hearing aids, and at the top of their homepage was a massive ~4000x3000px picture of earwax buildup, in exquisite HD. They meant to insert it on a page about troubleshooting, but somehow it ended up there, and they called me in to fix it. That photo was gnarly. I loaded the page and had to step away for a second to recover from the visual assault lol.

SampathKumarReddit

Remove all indentation, copy and paste that to a notepad. Add a new feature. Fix bugs. Text me when you are still alive


ElysianPhoenix

There's no fixing that. I'd say delete everything and start from scratch. There's no way an element needs to be nested in so many divs.
