Doctypes are not needed in HTML
the_kid [[email protected]] entered the room.
the_kid: hey guys, http://x.x.x/x/, why is the "Settings" thing at the bottom? it should be in the blue bit in the muddle, in the right side ;/
the_kid: middle*
person_1: `doctype @ the_kid # you need one
bot: the_kid, The list of W3C doctypes can be found here: http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html - HTML 4.01 Strict or HTML 5 is recommended.
person_2: You also need to be made aware of divitus and how HTML works.
the_kid: that has nothing to do with it.
person_1: lol
person_2: Gotta love people who ask what's wrong then insist that your explanation "has nothing to do with it"
the_kid: it doesnt.
the_kid: never used doctypes, their not needed
the_kid: and is not what is causing the problem
person_2: A valid doctype declaration is alpha and omega. Without it the browser cannot process the HTML document correctly.
the_kid: sure it can't
person_2: If you think otherwise then you're utterly ignorant.
the_kid: now can you help me with the REAL problem or not?
person_2: Add a valid doctype declaration, fool!
person_2: Debugging without one is a waste of time.
person_2: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/05/05/why_we_wont_help_you/
the_kid: ill go add the doctype
the_kid: but it has nothing to do with that.
the_kid: There
the_kid: nothing fixed
the_kid: happy?
person_2: Considering you ignored the reccomendations, more like satisfied.
person_2: Next step: http://x.x.x/x/x/x/x
the_kid: Fixed.
person_2: By removing the doctype? Heh.
the_kid: no
the_kid: the doctype did nothing
person_2: You just don't get it do you?
the_kid: yes
the_kid: i what i get is
the_kid: that doctypes are not needed
the_kid: and are just a waste of type
the_kid: and need to be removed from HTML
person_2: You fixed nothing. And your HTML has several errors. Not counting the doctype.
the_kid: person_2, still works doesn't it?
person_2: But if you don't want to fix stuff then quit complaining when it doesn't work.
the_kid: and yes i did fix it, because it works how i want it now.
the_kid: what you were telling me to 'fix' had nothing to do with the problem
the_kid: and i knew it
the_kid: so why would i be wasting my time?
person_2: Why would I be wasting mine
person_2: ?
the_kid: never said you should
the_kid: shouldn't be telling people to 'fix' stuff thats not broken
person_2: There's lots of stuff that's broken. The validator tells you that.
person_2: Even more when it defaults to HTML5.
the_kid: HTML5 is win
the_kid: but yeah
the_kid: the code still works
person_2: Then what do you need help with, if it works I mean?
person_2: And if you'd read the channel topic you'd see we handle HTML questions here, not styling.
the_kid: it wasn't working
person_2: And your HTML is a trainwreck.
the_kid: but i fixed it
the_kid: never said it wasn't
the_kid: but it works.
person_2: And with invalid HTML you can't expect CSS to behave properly.
the_kid: never had problems with it.
the_kid: i just commented out a line
person_2: So stop being a retard and fix your HTML - or stop wasting everyone's time.
the_kid: that i shouldn't of
person_2: Good day.
the_kid: rm -rf person_2
person_2: It's been tried before. Access denied.
the_kid: k
the_kid: sudo rm -rf /
person_2: Not in sudoer list.
the_kid: su
the_kid: rm -rf /
person_2: Wrong password.

the_kid: toor
the_kid: [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo "You live person_2"
person_3: person_2, you sir, are an troll.
