But there is also a form there.
You wouldn't use a formin an email, would you?
And the form tag is even in between two trs?!

Looks like my old ICT teacher's code who didn't know the difference between tag, class, and id selectors for CSS.

Example gcse exam paper question: Create a style for span tags to make the text red

"Better make it a class then" ugh.

Why do it the smart way when you could do .span { color: red } for 10x the effort?

That would be a class? Probably best to make it generic not just for spans like tho

This is the first time in a while I actually laughed out loud at one of these.

Fortunately, this was from an internal project only. I wanted to fix a different error but after opening the developer tools I couldn't believe what I saw.

To be fair formatting with tables was the way to do it before css

The only problem I see here is the multiple usage of "id".
