- spooneybarger 16y agothat might be part of the sarcasm in the post title.
- eberfreitas 16y agoWell, it works!
- slpsys 16y ago..ish!
- pacomerh 16y agoWow it looks like a planet with no life. Code generated by an old html robot

I guess when your url looks like that, it's not that much of a surprise to have that much view state. (edit: Just noticed it looks like that is DNN)
- abrudtkuhl 16y agoI'm pretty sure it's Sharepoint

- abrudtkuhl 16y agoyea that appears to be DNN But subway.com root has <meta content="SharePoint.WebPartPage.Document" name="ProgId"> <meta content="full" name="WebPartPageExpansion"> who knows what the hell they are actually doing... Whatever it is - it's an ugly ass kludge
- FR 16y agooh boy... 1) I started feeling bad way before hitting on the source... 2) the switch for Go To Country is brilliant!
- abrudtkuhl 16y agoyeah the Go To Country Switch is a product of sheer brilliance
- bhjodokast 16y agoMore crying please! Thank you!
- thomasknowles 16y agoSo many tables, 48 to be precise.
- byoung2 16y agoThat's 10 times as many tables as the average Subway restaurant has!
- fireismyflag 16y agoI see... a self-post to brag about your coding skills
- cparedes 16y agoOw, ow, those sharp edges of those tables!

- bs0101 16y ago5. 5 dollar. 5 dollar web-presence investment...
- Groxx 16y agoAny particular reason why Subway was chosen? There's got to be a billion other pages out there as bad or worse. Personally, I like Sears.com. I looked more closely after I found and reported a security hole in one of their systems. It's far more terrifying than the relatively-tame code I saw on Subway's site.
- hkuo 16y agoFrom a user's perspective, the site loads quick and displays fine. Would there be any particular reason that would motivate the programmers of Subway.com to clean up their code or reformat it in a more efficient way?
- abrudtkuhl 16y ago1) reusability 2) maintainability 3) self pride

- rwhitman 16y agoThe reason Subway doesn't invest much in its website is because its primarily a franchise sales tool. The consumer doesn't really factor in here much at the corporate level. I did a bunch of bids for some other very large franchise company websites and they were almost universally reluctant to invest any amount of money in upgrading their website. To the corporate honchos they make their $$ selling franchises - they could care less about consumer utility. They aren't selling many sandwiches via the web so everything else on the website is just a grudging formality - menu, store locator, coupons etc (That said, this site is a marvel of modern engineering. I especially like how line 2 dives right into a table tag. Screw <html> or <head>, give me MORE TABLES!!)
- rograndom 16y agothe opening html tag is there.... right on line 170 Also the closing html tag is on line 791, followed by 43 more lines including another table

- grackle 16y agoONMOUSEOVER loves you! It just wants to be your friend! Also, I just noticed that buried deep within the body section is some juicy metadata about a Fiery Footlong Frenzy. I need to start slipping that into all the code I write. Maybe buried somewhere deep within a table. With some <strike> tags in between for good measure.
- shelfu 16y agoObviously a little late to read this.. but the source now shows this: Now the that big switch is gone, here are some fun facts: 1. This site was created in 2002, using Visual Studio 2003. 2. Yes there was some editing done in frontpage. The editors worked better than VS 2003, and we had a license for it. 3. A lot from the funky mark-up is from some early generation .NET thirdparty controls we've been maintaining. 4. We look forward to updating the site as much as you (probably more in fact!) Thanks for the QA, Redditors!
