Markup madness.

I am always amazed at the half-ass attempts at creating valid markup.

For example:

http://mminow.tv/ uses a JavaScript redirect where a Meta refresh would have worked wonders.

Funny thing is, the creators of that page even embedded their JavaScript within CDATA tags which is the appropriate thing to do when using JavaScript within XHTML documents. It allows the markup validator to properly validate an XML document without choking on the code (that otherwise would not validate).

The funnier thing is they have no DTD and do not even have a valid HTML document *period*.

Where do people learn to make documents like this? How do they even know how to throw code in there without knowing what valid markup is?

I guess I can still learn about the mechanics of motorcycles without expecting them to have any idea what a valid HTML document consists of.
