Profile is unable to be edited

So this is another bug related to HTML coding:

I was playing around with HTML tables, testing them out in my bio and after saving once, the code messed up something and my profile became uneditable

  • Meaning If I clicked the edit button, the table would not appear in the editor
  • My cursor would only breifly blink in the edit box, but immeditly disappear, meaning I can't type anything into it.
  • The table code still appear if I click the source button but if I try to delete it from there it just comes right back after I go out of source mode.
  • The save button is completly unresponsive so I cant even try saving after deleteing the code.
  • click the cancel button work, but the bad code is still there in the source.

I submitted a report on my own profile to have a mod clear it for me and they did (That's why it says [removed] right now) but the bad table code is STILL there in the source and I still cannot edit my profile at all.

I've tried just about everything to fix this and I'm at a lose here.

  • I've tried removing the code via inspect element, but that didn't work. The save button is still non-functional and the code comes right back once the page is refreshed.
  • I've tried with my adblocker off, thinking perhaps that was causing an issue. No change. Adblock or not, the profile is still broken.
  • I've tried differnt browsers and devices. None worked.

The only thing I can provide is that when I'm in inspect element and I try to click inside the text box in edit mode, this error gets thrown. It does NOT get thrown when I'm in source mode, but still. I can't edit anything and my profile is just forever stuck.

Extra info that might be relevent:

  • Current Browser: Google Chrome Version 113.0.5672.127 (Official Build) (64-bit)
  • Device: HP Envy X360 Laptop (But issue still persists on my phone: Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra)
  • OS: Windows 10

An update of sorts:

I'm still unable to edit my bio, and from what I can tell from my limited knowledge of coding, it all comes down to a Javascript error.

I got curious and gave the error codes I see in Inspect element to ChatGPT to see that it had to say.

And this was it's response. I know ChatGPT isn't perfect 100% of the time, but I have found it pretty decent for troubleshooting coding issues when I'm working in Python, so this may be some help to the devs who Code the site.

It then went on to provide some steps to resolve the issue. I have cleared my browser cache multiple times, and the rest of the steps are not something I can do personally. But maybe this would be good info for the people who can access the site source code.
