      Also, I am dying for a protective older brother moment somewhere. 😂

      I’ll see if I can put that in there somewhere… I’m sure there’ll be an opportunity. 😉😊

      Liam totally counts, I just forgot him. 😢

        If you’re sniffing about Liam, you have no idea……………..

         

        Yay!! Looking forward to it!

            This isn’t perfect, but here is something that may be similar to Cole’s test. I made it with some basic HTML code, Javascript for functionality, and Bootstrap for styling. I can’t do everything in here, for example, this form isn’t actually sending the information you enter in it anywhere and entering info into the suspicious text box doesn’t do anything as well. I also don’t know what exactly is going on in Cole’s situation, which makes it hard to say what he is seeing. Play around with this a bit. I did include some comments (Grey text surrounded by <!–  –>) in the HTML tab. Read over those, and you will see one comment explaining a possible reason for why Cole is seeing that text input. Feel free to play with the code itself. You won’t break anything as the changes you make won’t be save. If you do mess up, just refresh the page.

              Oh, it actually imbedded the thing in the page. Interesting. Click on the 0.5 so that the warning on the top doesn’t bloke the code, or click on the box symbol in the top right to take you to the page itself.

                “If you look at the code before, you will see the two dashes and the arrow indicating the end of a comment. . .”

                I’m looking for this, but I can’t find it in the HTML box before the comment you left. I did, however, see this: class=”mt-2″ placeholder=””> –> directly below the comment. Is that what you were referring to?

                So if I’m understanding what you’re saying, with the way code works, a possible explanation for the mysterious box is that someone accidentally deleted the part of the code that told the page to ignore it?

                  Sorry, I meant to say below.

                  So if I’m understanding what you’re saying, with the way code works, a possible explanation for the mysterious box is that someone accidentally deleted the part of the code that told the page to ignore it?

                  Yes, basically. Think of it like a green traffic light saying go (–>), but the traffic lights never turned red. (<!–)

                  One thing I should say though. If you press Ctrl + Shift + I, a menu will be brought up in your browser that will allow you to view and temporarily edit code on a webpage. (Any changes you make are lost when you refresh the page). When you do this,  you can see code that has been commented out. For example, there is one webpage I did this on, and I saw the following comment on it.

                  <!–What are you doing?Looking for secrets?Don’t put your nose where it doesn’t belong.Or you might learn something you DON’T like…Hee hee hee.–>

                  So if this isn’t something that whoever put that there didn’t want people to find, it would be a better option to remove it entirely instead of just commenting it out.

                  Unless the coding language they are using when your book takes place works differently… Maybe there are some comments that only developers and hackers can see…😏

                    No problem, it just confused me and I wondered if I was misunderstanding.

                    Okay, that makes more sense. Lol! That’s really weird.

                    Yeah, I’m trying not to spoil anything, but it seems like it will still work… possibly. I’m not sure if the glitch on the page (with the mysterious text box) is the best way to go, but it will do for now.

                    I haven’t put much thought into that… but I’m sure in thirty years there would be advancements made. I’ll have to try to develop that further.

                    Thanks for your help! I really appreciate you going out of your way to try to help me understand. Like I said, I don’t know much about it… I did used to like commands in Minecraft, and sometimes I would inspect a page on Google to change text into something else for fun, but it still feels like a foreign language. 😅

                      Your welcome!

                      Confession, I asked ChatGPT to code most of it, and then modified it from there.

                              Oh my word! I just saw that tiny bit of the test you created, Linus. I actually stared at it for a full minute because I was too scared to mess with it. That book is 100% way too real for me. 😂 And then I did a Cole move, threw caution to the wind, and have spent the last five minutes trying to hack it.

                              That thing is insanely scary cool.

                                  Thank you! Code Pen is a nice website to play around with code.
