Please, tell me this is Adobe trying to mock IE. It has to be, right? I mean, they've always sort of not valued source code, but this is beyond torturing it.

This is so inspirationally horrible someone spent hours remaking it, like it should've been: http://studentweb.infotech.monash.edu/~wlay/FIT1012/muse-dem....

Indeed. The inefficiency here is astounding, especially considering the relatively straightforward page layout involved.

Your version: 104 lines, 4.75kB

I'd thought we'd progressed beyond the state of a decade ago where Dreamweaver or what-have-you would build you a cumbersome and baroque html splooge to match whatever you had done in the designer, but I guess we haven't advanced that far. Just goes to show you that front-end devs are still as necessary as ever I suppose.

"You can design and publish original HTML pages to the latest web standards without writing code" - WTF

I think compounding all this inefficiency is how they have "" on EVERY SINGLE DIV.

Someone should use the Tilt extension to visualise this page in 3D (http://hacks.mozilla.org/2011/07/tilt-visualize-your-web-pag...) and screen cap it.
