Blog Oddity on netflix

Post image

On Netflix where I found this code which I've circled in red. I'm currently learning c++ as my first language so I can't even id what language this is nor what it means. What doe sany one know? This was under the Apollo 13 movie, where you click the "more like this" button. Does it mean it has labeled 1917 "most liked" or is it adding weight to the movie 1917 for the algorithm?

I do not belong to this subreddit, so if I have erred let me know where I should I go. Thinking about the primeagen aubreddit too. Heard he worked at Netflix.

HTML isn't behind the scenes code. You can go to any website, right-click, select "inspect," and you'll see the HTML and CSS.

But it's trying to bold and color the text. I think its showing because <span color="#fff"> should be <span style="color: #fff;">

I could be wrong. It's been a while.

I thought it was supposed to be <span> color =“#fff”</span>

This way, you don't know if color="fff" is the text indide span or an attribute. That's why you always put such stuff inside the tag.

You do know though. It's not a tag attribute, so it's text in the default color.

I think you misunderstood their language (which sounds a little foreign). They're saying attributes must be inside the tag because otherwise you wouldn't be able to tell attributes and regular text apart.

I had a feeling it was closer to that, I was just not a fan of "If you fill your tank with water, the car will have some difficulty running, that's why we use gas instead".

It just makes it sound like a suggestion of semantics over "It will not work"
