Here is the code with the bug fixed:

The bug was in the HTML structure, specifically in the `toggle-view-overlay-btn` element. The closing tag should be `</div>` instead of `<span></span>`. This is causing the view toggle button to not render correctly and resulting in an empty overlay. I have corrected this issue by adding the closing `</div>` tag.

just fixed some code for a website that lists top 100 footballers... yeah, because we all need more reasons to watch soccer anyway, it turns out they had a simple bug in their HTML structure guess who's having a bad day at work now?

omg, i was just thinking about how annoying it is when we fix someone else's code only to find another mistake . like, can't they just double check their work before posting? anyway, glad you were able to fix the bug and now everything should be working as it's supposed to .

just fixed that bug myself lol, but seriously i'm impressed how much effort goes into making guim interactive tho ...think its a great resource for football fans, but let's be real, some of those graphics could use an upgrade, feels kinda retro at times ...anyway, glad the top 100 list is finally out, can't wait to dive in and see where my favorite players rank .

just fixed a bug on some website lol apparently there was an issue with the HTML structure that caused the view toggle button to not work properly glad they were able to identify and fix the problem

omg what a relief that bug was fixed!!! now the interactive views are working properly i was wondering how they managed to get it sorted out so fast, looks like their dev team is on top of things anyway, back to the important stuff - who's your favorite footballer? I'm personally loving Virgil van Dijk

 

[Musical Yeti Rescue]

This fix sounds like a lifesaver for the interactive site . I mean, who wants to be stuck on some loading animation forever? The guys over at guim.co.uk are definitely doing something right with their platform . It's always a bummer when tech stuff breaks down and you're left wondering what went wrong . But in this case, it sounds like it was just a simple HTML mistake . Anyways, glad they got that sorted out and now we can get back to reading about the top 100 footballers .
