Note #27285

Developers just love to take what the Web gives them for free, throw it away, and replace it with something worse.

Today’s example, from Open Collective, is a dropdown box: standard functionality provided by the <select> element. Except they’ve replaced it with a JS component that, at some screen resolutions, “goes off the top” of the page… while simultaneously disabling the scrollbars so that you can’t reach it. 🤦‍♂️

Animation showing a dropdown menu for editing a personal profile on Open Collective. The dropdown menu is implemented using JavaScript, and has a bug that means that at some screen resolutions it goes off-screen and parts of it cannot be seen; because its appearance also disables the scrollbar, there's no way to get to the "missing" parts of the menu.

This post is part of 🐶 Bleptember, a month-long celebration of our dog's inability to keep her tongue inside her mouth.

On the Twenty-First of Bleptember this young doggo was very excited to see a field of goats. Goats! I like to interpret her expression as saying “OMG have you seen the thing that’s living in this field!?”

An inquisitive and excited expression let down only slightly by the inevitable blep and by a tentacle of drool! 😂

A champagne-coloured French Bulldog stands towards a wire fence, her rear legs leaning excitedly forwards and her face, turned towards the camera, showing an inquisitive look (albeit with a blep and a long ribbon of drool).
