The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

My Saturday job requires me to use an e-commerce site that still uses classic ASP, at least according to the address bar. An upgrade was promised about 4 years ago to make it compatible with IE 10/11. It used to drive me crazy that the M-F manager cleared the IE cache on Friday, unwittingly also clearing the compatibility list. I would get to the payment screen and realize that I was unable to select a payment option due to outdated javascript/css! Mad | :mad: Luckily F12 lets me emulate IE9 to get through it! This is a pretty major US business web application that still can't take payments from Safari, Chrome, Edge or IE > 9 browsers! WTF | :WTF:

I have a fairly large task coming up dealing with an inventory and ordering system I wrote in classic ASP. (started before .NET and maintained until about 5 years ago) The project had been unused for a few years, then a new customer came on board a few months ago and wants it. It still works great, but it will be much better in .NET! Smile | :)

Personally, I always found classic ASP easy to understand...mostly just building a page from top to bottom. Debugging was another matter. Dead | X|
