Web duh-velopment

I'm not sure how this was considered to make sense, but marvel at this forced-upon snippet of web development with a capital Z:

pretty

Brilliant! Whichever side of the process you want to throw yourself on, it's just plain filthy.


  1. It assumes an XHTML document without an initial opening element for <body> is okay. No validator will love you -rightfully so.

  2. The scroll attribute is an "awesome" proprietary IE attribute. No matter which browser it is, vendor-specific crap like that needs to be absent.

  3. Three different ways to write an opening <body> just so IE won't produce a scroll bar on a fullscreen Flash site? Oh boy!

When gimmicky design fails

Infinity Art Studio has one hell of a site. I like how they convey their lust for interlaced, over-compressed video playback. I love how they randomly glitch the hell out of the content of their pages to make it look "edgy".

But I absolutely adore how their contact form not only glitches and blurs like the rest of their pages. Get this: when that happens, you lose focus of the form you were just typing in. So type fast and pray to whatever deity that you're on time to finish your sentence.

Wonderful design, but nobody's upstairs.
