I was trying to log into JIRA to report a bug at my company... when I saw this:

 

  Apparently IE is not smart enough to get UNKNOWN data, not sure why...

 

Wholesale wholesale wholesale, wholesale wholesale. Wholesale? Wholesale wholesale.

 Malkovich.

 

And apparently the web designer isn't smart enough to know that you can't put <font> (deprecated!) tags in the value attribute of an input tag.

That would have worked in a button tag, though.  At least I think it would....

 Chicken chicken chicken. Chicken chicken? Chicken.

My favorite part is that JIRA has a link for "Bug Requests"

In a <button>, yes. Not in an <input type="button">, or submit, or reset, or etc.

Also, warehouse warehouse warehouse warehouse warehouse warehouse. Warehouse.

Someone got a little too happy with the translation features.

That was the greatest presentation ever.

I mean, chicken chicken chicken chicken, chicken chicken, chicken chicken chicken!

I've seen people put <b> tags inside of title tags a lot, which every browser I know of renders as "<b>title</b>"

I suspect that "<font size=1>Wholesale</font>" is translated text for something that was never meant to appear in the input button. I would guess that someone was updating the translations table and forgot to include a where clause in their update statement, setting every translation to this, and the font tags are only apparent where translations are used as attributes like this.

So, if I'm right, not a WTF on the behalf of the web designer, but a FAIL for whoever updated the database.

I wonder why you'd include this font tag in a translation though? Aside from it being depreciated, are we to understand that different languages might have different sized text?

 <font size=1>Chicken</font>

Not every browser I know of :)

With old versions of Netscape (ones that used bookmarks.html) bookmarking such titles would cause the HTML to be parsed, giving you bold titles in your bookmarks list.

 So, was this a script-injection-vulnerability?
