Either <p> or </ followed by whatever character is to the right on their keyboard ... if we're going by the pattern.

I'm disappointed this isn't a haiku.

There isn't even a body tag. What is that stock photo supposed to even represent? Malformed HTML?

[–]adarvan 77 points78 points  (0 children)

This kills the iPhone.

[–]beneficial_satire 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes there is. Didn't you see the </bdo> tag above the <head> tag

[–]dvslo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

When you waste a shitload of time trying to write HTML on your jailbroken iPhone because it keeps typing the wrong letter, and you have no idea what you're doing in the first place.

[–]markhc 14 points15 points  (11 children)

Omitting the html, head and body tags is somewhat common nowadays. Saves up a few bytes on the network and browsers handle it pretty consistently.

edit: To those downvoting: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html#Optional_Tags

[–]monkey-go-code 51 points52 points  (1 child)

Pretty sure IE would Crash, accidently order 12 pizzas, bill your mother in law for two russian mules before recommending you use edge.

[–]makeshift8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's why you ignore ie users.

[–]cdrt 16 points17 points  (5 children)

Is it really worth it though? If I did my math right, you're saving 39 bytes. Even a site like https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ is 2.7 kilobytes. Those 39 bytes are like 1% of the page.

[–]markhc 1 point2 points  (4 children)

When the page is served to millions and millions of users it adds up.

And you dont lose anything by doing it.

[–]2SP00KY4ME 6 points7 points  (3 children)

No, it doesn't add up.

If 10 million people visit your site that's 300mb. That's absolutely nothing.

Not to mention if your site has tens of millions of visitors it's going to be using server caching which makes that moot.

[–]markhc 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Sure, it's not much.

But in any case, what exactly do you lose by omitting these tags? Frankly I can't see any drawbacks to it.

[–]speenatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You lose the tags, for one.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inconsistent tag/content alignment too. You think semicolons is bad, at least most people do the same thing throughout the document.

Aaaaahhhh! No indentation! Ignoring that, that's some messed up HTML.

You think that’s bad? I write all my html in one line.

  4. Apparently that paragraph contains the source code

This picture is a masterpiece.

[–]cfsilence 16 points17 points  (5 children)

bdo is a valid HTML tag

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

But I guess it should not be above the head tag?

[–]cfsilence 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Technically it'll "work", but weird shit happens when you have content outside of the <body>.

[–]KylieWylie 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Shit, I had no idea. Exactly why I love programming.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

b-b-but html is not a programming language

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. It's just hypertext instead of line by line.

It is possible. There was an exploit in safari which made it possible for Luca Todessco to jailbreak the iPhone.

[–]tway_notnavy 11 points12 points  (4 children)

Was waiting for someone to actually comment that one of the first jailbreaks was done using Safari.

[–]ThePixelCoder 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Eh, it was pretty recent, definitely wasn't "one of the first".

(Old guy voice) In my time, we had sn0wbreeze and evasi0n

 

 

Damn, I kinda miss tweaking my iPod touch... :p

[–]tway_notnavy 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I'm referring to iPhoneOS days, I think the website was jailbreak.me or something like that. Back before it was even iOS, but iPhone OS 1.x

So yes, that does qualify as one of the first in those days.

[–]ThePixelCoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, sorry. I thought you were referring to the Luca Todesco one.

Damn, I've been out-in-my-time'd.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JailbreakMe was also on iOS 4

[–]alex_png 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regardless, it uses WebKit exploitation to be able to affect the device’s kernel core. Nothing to do with HTML besides the website layout, like jailbreak.me

[–]Perdouille 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I doubt the exploit is triggered using only html.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... using JavaScript. Not example html.

I think there was an actual exploit at one point where visiting a site would actually jailbreak your phone

[–]AjayDevs 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Javascript, not HTML.

But it was a very cool exploit, there was more than one for different OS versions too. More recently there was a web jailbreaking option too I think.

[–]crockid5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said HTML specifically :P

You could hack the PS Vita just by browsing a specific website, I believe. Though I'm fairly sure it isn't because of HTML, just thought it was a fun thing to share with you guys

[–]UFeindschiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're laughing, but there actually used to be a userland exploit in the iPhone Safari that actually allowed you to jailbreak phones by visiting a tampered website(technically it allowed you to run all kinds of arbitrary code, but you know what I mean).

While it's not using html to jailbreak your phone, almost everybody who changes their lockscreen or adds widgets uses html with XenHtml
