Issue with HTML

TappedOut forum

Posted on July 10, 2014, 8:18 p.m. by GREPTAR

Last night I was playing around with some HTML on this website (just adding music and images to my profile description). I decided I would make a hidden music autoplayer and comment it on a friends deck to annoy them. Yeah I know, I'm a great friend. The code looks something like this - (<> tags removed)

div hidden

audio

audio src="AUDIO_URLy"

source src="Audio_URL"

/audio

/div

Now, this worked brilliantly, but only for me. Whenever I load the deck it plays music for my ears only, which is fine. However, whenever I go onto my own profile it also plays the song. I couldn't figure out what but after doing some investigating I found that every comment I have ever made (yeah, all 3 of them), are stored in the Page Source of your profile page, this also applies to everyone else that's made a comment.

Is there any way I can remove this or do I have to listen to "Turn Down For What" every time I view my own profile?

This is 100% gold.

I forgot to mention that it also plays http://www.hydrotoys.com/wavs/Beavis_cornholio.wav which makes this more of an emergency.

Why would you do this?

I think the question that needs to be asked is; Why isn't everyone doing this?

Wow that is 100 times worse than when I accidentally broke someones deck page by forgetting to close the code and colored the comment stream in my color. XP

So does anybody here know how to fix this? Every time I view my profile I have nightmares of this man.

I could edit the files out for you, but it's really tempting to leave them there. Something about cruel irony.

Epochalyptik If you could do that for me I will let you come over to my place and use my PlayStation 2 for one hour and eleven minutes. Deal?

PS, I totally think you're the most attractive admin on the line

Why so specific? Why not an hour and a half?

Leave it, epoch, until a better deal is presented.

Also, this is great. Brings back all the fears of the internet that died about ten years ago: Hidden music players. (Seriously, what were we thinking? I think we're stupid.)

I died when Epochalyptik said "why would you do this". This absolutely kills me.

I feel that my very serious issue isn't being taken very serious. Maybe I should call the cyberpolice?

I guess you'll just have to wait it out until the comments cycle off of your profile page.

Couldn't he delete them...?

I should mention, that this is not the first time this has happened ♥

There was another user who posted music hidden on his deck. I wanted to figure out how it was done so I inspected the page to find the music element and copied the code. Now I couldn't find any other song to work with it so I pasted the the original code on to his profile and asked a few questions pertaining to my issue. It then made his profile and mine both continuously play music. Then another user got the code aaaannnd ... it was a 3 way music battle.

What fun, what fun.
