<form name="menuform4">
<p>
<select name="menu4"
onChange="window.open(menuform4.menu4.options[menuform4.menu4.selectedIndex].value);
return false;">

- aegiso 13y agoI wonder how much simpler our browsers could be if we didn't have to worry about rendering and styling this breed of dated spec-breaking insanity.
- krapp 13y agoIt is, probably, the stupidest pagination scheme i've ever seen. Though back in the day, I thought using form dropdown lists for page navigation was cool too. Of course I never had 500+ pages either.. and I got over it.
- btown 13y agoNot significantly simpler. I'd imagine that the module that parses malformed HTML into a hierarchy is separate from any rendering-related behavior. EDIT: But I'd love to be proven wrong.
- badclient 13y agoMr. Nissan used to run a small computer shop in the 90s. He's pretty old school guy who's had to hire shit load of developers over the years for various pages of the site. I was hired at one point to fix an issue with their contact form.
- 8ig8 13y agoTrue, but also keep in mind the site is still up with this spike in traffic. Must be Varnish, Nginx, CDN edge servers, sprites, gzip, pre-fetching and efficient CSS selectors.
