Stupid Computer

PHP

I just spent 3 hours working on a login in form issue. At the end of the day - the issue was stupid me had given two HTML elements the same ID.

Stupid computer…

(Stupid browsers being the super hero and not acting like anything is wrong instead of throwing a code validation error).

Anyone got any favorite stupid computer stories?

I have the Tshirt for the same mistake and now program using the following which shows shows errors and warnings:


1. Use this in your header
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
       "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
     <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"  lang="en" xml:lang="en">

2. Use Firefox Addon:
