Euskaltel is a sack of Spaniard Morons.

OK, seriously… the website I talked about below has some serious issues.  I am serious, just check out:

http://www.euskaltel.es/

…and see.  Firstly, it depends on JavaScript to load another document.  Once at *that* document you are presented with a dependence on a script that checks for a cookie.  However, its main function is not defined!  It even references a ‘cookie.js’ file that is completely empty.

If you do a little source digging you see that the only places it *would* redirect you to are:

home.jsp
home_ppal.jsp
idioma.jsp

…all of which result in:

http://www.euskaltel.es/itvweb/error.htm

Now, here is the hilarious (retarded?) twist.  Just view the source of the previous URL and notice the entire page is created with a method of the document object in JavaScript (document.write() for those who wonder).

*sigh*

If life is a contented dream I wish someone would wake me the hell up.

    Heh. The site seems pretty lame, but it actually works for me; I think the problem is that you’re omitting /web from those URLs. The .jsp files you mention are not in the site’s root directory, but rather, in a directory called /web. So, for example, the first one works if you make it into:

    http://www.euskaltel.es/web/home.jsp

    The fact that all the text on the error page is rendered with document.write() does seem pretty pointless, though. Maybe they were under some kind of mandate to make everything in the site run on JavaScript; no real text allowed!

    Yeah, I see that now that I omitted the ‘web’ directory. Ah well.

    Everything else was accurate which still shows how moronic they must be.

    I cannot thing of a single reason that you would create an entire page of content out of JavaScript. Server-based code *maybe*, but not client-side.
