Height of stupidity in web page design

I am still playing with it. Can you please raise a request on my behalf? It must state exactly this: "Do you know that proper developers exist? They are not same as unicorns." You can give my email if you want. It is "a@s.com". :)

1. I can align controls better than that and I am not even a web developer. 2. Selecting option that I am not a customer, makes almost no difference to entries I need to make. 3. Why do you need my address if I need to make a complain? 4. Date picker: really!? 5. If I select no for existing customer, why am I able to select claim related options? I can go on and on. If you are dealing with these guys, please do not use their online transactions. Better still, find some other provider.

6. I wonder what the pop-up was that IE blocked for me.

I just thought would share the web page of grivances redressal of a private insurance provider in India (https://www.birlasunlife.com/BirlaSunLife/Insurance/BSLI_MP/Forms/ComplaintForm_id.aspx[^]). 1) First assuming your age is 30, you need to click 30x12 times the left arrow on the datepicker to reach the month of your birth to choose the calendar. 2) The captcha does not refresh. 3) Every dropdown has a serverside autopostback. What do you think of such a webpage? 1) A gesture of management to discourage complaints from customers? 2) Or by a programmer who begs code in Lounge/Soapbox forums and vomits gibberish code accompanied by lack of (stringent) testing/qa because of stingy/greedy management to invest!

It was broke, so I fixed it.

0. I wonder why you are using IE.

I'm a web developer. I use all the major browsers. Except for Opera. And Safari. And... OK, I only really use IE and Chrome (and Firefox, sparingly).

Do you think they have ever heard of SQL injection or Cross site scripting?

Oh you poor sod. I hope your clients are not using IE6.
"Bastards encourage idiots to use Oracle Forms, Web Forms, Access and a number of other dinky web publishing tolls.", Mycroft Holmes[^]
I think the lowest we support now is IE7 (I mostly let the designers worry about that).

I knew that's true because even I'm from India and a Web developer, I have seen peoples from all levels. It's not a rocket science or something un heard about SQL Injection. That's pretty basic and everyone knows about that. Obviously being a developer one should be knowing it very well :)

I prefer Chrome for web surfing and Firefox for app development and debugging. IE is akin a torrent application for me coming under a blanket embargo.

I still don't have answer to my question. Anyways, this isn't a fairy tale. Wake up. There are plenty of "developers" out there who have no clue about anything related to development.

It's a standard datepicker - just click on the calender to open it, click on the year (2013) and hold the "up" arrow down until you get to you birth year. You don't have to scroll the month sideways until you reach the 1980s! :laugh: It's rather fuggly, and it looks like it was put together by the bosses son after his (unsuccessful) first course ion software. And it probably was...

as an example, the guy who sits by my side here prefers to block the f5 button when he returns a view from a post instead of using the proper post-redirect-get pattern... and if it was not for entity framework, he would have a BAD time with sql injections...
