I'm learning/using Joomla! for a while now and have to say it's nice designed in functionality and usability - but (like a quadrillion other user allready said) it has a horrible html code base! Sorry but it's very annoying...
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
A good example is the actual inbuilt contact form! I set up the contact to not display any contact informations but only show the form itself - and here is the result - empty tables in tables and empty cells and cells and cells .... (Note: I've only removed the form itself)
Code: Select all
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="contentpane">
<tr>
<td width="100%">
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
</table>
<br />
</td>
<td align="right" valign="top">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<br />
The real contact form goes here ...
...
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't want to hack and patch the whole core so every update will result in a nightmare.
Please please please have a heart for us and remove at least some of the ugliest glitches regarding the code output!
Thanks in advance,
Martin G. (who nevertheless loves Joomla!)
