The Register is reporting that a recent email from Lloyds TSB had a slight coder related blunder inside it’s HTML.
Hidden inside the ALT tag for one of the images on the email was the phrase "Here is another advert for something you’ve already got".
Oops! Well, these things happen - coders often put in junk phrases when they’re building a site or email and don’t have all the copy - I know of an infamous "Now piss off" thank you message left at the end of a HTML form which was demo’d to a client! - so this isn’t that rare to be fair.
I guess the QA at the agency that made it should have been a little tighter thats all
Any comments on this Jonathan?
