Make the font red! No, black! Can we do both?

AnalogNerd

I just found this little gem in the same app I'm rewriting. This legacy website is the gift that just keeps on giving.

This paragraph is black! 
          
       And this link is black!
    
      
    But this paragraph is red!
    

And this other text is red, but identical in every other way.

Also, it goes without saying that I cleaned this up for the post. There's no rhyme or reason to the indentation and line breaks in this code.

Try adding some table layout to that HTML code and you got something of which I find at work every day. Ohh... if that wasn't bad enough... try adding some random UI logic in classic ASP! Fun stuff!

Looks to me like the code was generated by a tool... Wysiwyg html editors will often produce ridiculousness like this.

I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I was about to remove the WYSIWYG line, but decided not to when I saw the quote code. (Listed above for reference) X|

Yes, a right tool. ;-)
