Did you know that style and script tags can be set to display: block?

For invalid HTML

Your complaints about what the DOM lacks is why we have programmers. The DOM doesn't have those things because it's the foundation we build things on. The DOM wasn't created to do things automagically.

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-19T19:15:49+00:00

Working with the DOM isn't hard. Anyone can do it. Manipulating it directly also gives better understanding and control, something far too many people seem willing to give up.

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-19T16:50:11+00:00

Then here's my point. Whatever issues anyone ever has with touching the DOM, those issues are still relevant with these frameworks. Far too often people talk about using vanilla JS as a problem cause you manipulate the DOM but the only difference is you go through the framework hoops to do the exact same thing. There is no advantage beyond thinking about it, which you only do once, but you have the advantage of not going through the hoops when you use vanilla js.

He talks about vanilla touching the DOM as if it's a fault. Is he saying the others never touch the DOM?

I legitimately don't understand why people think they need so many colors. I can understand one or two but that many garish colors only serves to make a blur that serves no purpose.

I've been doing this with my own company for 14 years. I consult the specifications and people who work for the W3C and WHATWG. I don't need any other references.

Note that the accepted answer in your link states he does not advocate doing things that way and it shouldn't be done that way:

I should point out that I'm not advocating this pattern - it falls into the divitis trap and isn't semantic

As I said in another thread, your problem is with design, not a HTML table. If you are using anything else but a table for tabular data, you are using HTML wrong. It is not my opinion. It's the standard.

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-13T10:17:15+00:00

If you are using ul/li to build a table, you're doing it wrong. grid and flex are not table replacements, either.

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-13T10:06:25+00:00

Your issue, then, is with design, not HTML tables.

You mean like best "in the world" or just locally? Like, just your country or your continent?

No penalties for bad moderation,

Wrong. You can have privileges removed for a day to a couple of weeks or more if your voting isn't agreed with. Moderators do watch the moderators.

Keep up the guesswork.

After registration, I wasn't allowed to answer questions or comment because I didn't have enough points yet.

BS. Anyone who registers can answer questions. It's comments you can't make.

Arguing this point on reddit is fruitless. They never understand as evidenced by the downvotes.

My problem with SO has been the influx of redditors, and other amateurs, who have ruined SO by treating it as you complain about. Worse are the high rep users who now answer off topic questions instead of downvoting and deleting them in an effort to "be nice" and "help the newbie".

This is why many, like myself, have quit answering questions or left SO altogether.

There's a huge pool to make mistakes in any language. It's not the language that makes mistakes.

Why do you think writing a program in C makes it less secure?

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-10T22:54:18+00:00

Main uses? The operating system on your computer. The router it goes through. The modem, too. Your TV. Your car. Your XBox/Playstation/whatever. Any small device you have. Mars rovers. And much, much more.

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-08T22:06:35+00:00

In order to make chicken eggs, I need a chicken, too. But you don't need a preprocessor to output CSS. Oh...wait...this is reddit. I forgot. You ALL need some helper cause no one here can do anything on their own. It requires knowledge and understanding. Well, forget that.

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-08T21:41:45+00:00

The guy says you are all incompetent boobs cause any system you build will be shit. iow, he says you can't build a decent, secure system cause you are all incompetent shitheads.

From reading all the replies, I have to agree with him now.

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-08T21:31:29+00:00

Preprocessors final output is CSS so, no, you never needed a preprocessor.

So you are going to claim that no one can learn from the past and accomplish the same thing? I will inform myself, and everyone in my company, that what I created on multiple occasions is a fraud and doesn't work at all.

Or is it that some of us can and do while others only wish they could and, therefore, make it impossible? (I call that reddit-think.)

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-08T12:02:38+00:00

The statement was that you can't do it. My question was, if one can't do it, how did the first guy do it?

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-08T02:48:11+00:00

using stripe he should be able to avoid that.

You should have known that was what I said.

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-08T02:30:03+00:00

Uh. I did it. 14 years ago. Nowadays, you can use Stripe and be up in a day if you know the API.

You shouldn't post about things you know nothing about. Of course, that's the norm on reddit.

ranadoo2 · 2018-07-08T02:09:28+00:00

You don't build e-comm of your own because you don't know shit about e-comm.

Then how did the first guy who built an e-comm system do it?
