Despite most programmers knowing at least some HTML (let’s be honest, most know quite a lot but we don’t want to generalise too much), the intricacies of the markup language aren’t spoken about enough.

HTML has, in some ways, got a reputation of being easy. Easy to learn, easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to work with (write it in a file, save it with an .html file suffix and you’ve basically built a site).

However, look closely and you’ll see it’s really not that simple. In this series, we’re going to share bad code that we’ve seen in the wild.

See how mistakes you find in the following block of HTML and let us know what you found on X, BlueSky or Threads.
