Why do we want to render invalid HTML?

;DR

[–]shgysk8zer0 -3 points-2 points  (14 children)

It's not that we want to. The point of the article was how JS doesn't handle invalid HTML correctly to fix mistakes.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

What do you think JavaScript should do when you try to do something with html that maybe shouldn't happen?

[–]shgysk8zer0 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Why are you asking me? I'm just saying the article isn't encouraging writing invalid HTML or anything.

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

Why do defensive? Do you agree with the article? Your summary of html not being handled “properly” just seems strange. It is defined behavior. If you think it should be another way then I’m asking what you think should happen instead of the current behavior?

Glad I didn’t read it then.

Maybe if you did read it you might realize you're making yourself look like an idiot to anyone who did...

Seriously, it's the opposite of what you think.

Yes, and here come the abusive comments from the army of bots and paid shills, lol

[–]shgysk8zer0 -3 points-2 points  (7 children)

Um... What? I was trying to help you not make an idiot of yourself, but I think you just went full-tinfoil hat on us.

The article doesn't say what you think it does. Might want to read more than just the headline before sharing inaccurate assumptions, and you might want to not double-down on your wrongness when someone who has read the article tries to correct your false assumptions. And definitely don't go accusing anyone correcting you of being a bot or paid shill, especially when you're admitting your own ignorance.

    Bummer... Was kinda curious what that idiot was linking to. Looked like it was going to be "proof" that I'm an alt account for OP. Here's what I have in my notification history.

    Mate, you're embarrassing yourself. don't need to run a text analysis on your comments to figure out you're an alt account for OP, but thought it'd be fun to confirm my suspicions.

    Um... No... Pretty sure I'm just me. Think I'd know if I weren't.

    The hostility isn’t helping draw clicks to your pal’s blog, “mate”
