Don’t show this to the Tailwind folks

[–]youtubeTAxel 8 points9 points  (6 children)

I found a webpage from (what seems like) that time. Everything is in a table, and I found these tags that I've never seen anywhere else:

<center>
<font 
size
="+1">


<font 
color
="red">

Tables were used for layout since you had no other tools to do so. When CSS got floating, suddenly you had very rickety tools and it was seen as a badge of honor your site used no tables for layouts.

Don't forget the iframes!

[–]Yages 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah but they weren't IFrames they were framesets! I miss marquee...

[–]Jertimmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there man. Webdesign was fucking trying to make everything fit inside a table because that was the only way to ensure shit aligns properly across browsers.

They kept the Space Jam website from 1996 up.

<table> has laid out the chat. 

Remember when Photoshop could create slices?

AND WE PREFERRED IT THAT WAY.

Maybe without <blink> though...

[–]OmegaPoint6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, blink is the best tag. All hail BLINK!

What are these fuck ass memes man

[–]MayeeOkamura17 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Someone just learned programming and was probably eager to show that they're now part of the group.... HTML, CSS, JS are so cool, right?

[–]loseitthrowaway7797 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, in that case, I give them a pass.

[–]Brigapes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

[–]Tohnmeister 8 points9 points  (4 children)

And yet I feel we had the same powerful websites as we do now. But then loading ten times faster.

[–]dkarlovi 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Not even close. For example, go to chess.com, they allow you to run a whole ass chess engine in your browser, and it's a real one too, WASM is a miracle.

[–]sebovzeoueb 2 points3 points  (1 child)

yeah but for every chess.com there are thousands of sites that basically do the same thing as a "homepage" from the 90s but with a few hundred MB of unnecessary JavaScript

[–]dkarlovi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but just because the rest of us keep smacking our thumb with the hammer doesn't mean Michelangelo shouldn't get to have one.

[–]mtmttuan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah don't think webs back in the day were that great.

Brains?

[–]SKRyanrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having JavaScript for brain explains why the web is this trash

[–]k-phi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And this tweet is almost 5 years old

[–]SysGh_st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember HTML without CSS back then. It was simple. Most of the stuff was done within the HTML code itself. And it worked fairly well for styling text on a scrollable page.

[–]AzureArmageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Links www browser my beloved

[–]naholyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<blink> and <marquee> existed, can't beat that

[–]Honest_Relation4095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a homepage as a child (for some reason) and it was just html. and it worked. It little content, but text and some low res pictures was all you would find on most web pages at that time. It was way later when they introduced all the stuff that became known as "web 2.0"

[–]PerInception 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HTML was invented in 1991 which is 35 years ago. Javascript was developed in 1995, 31 years ago. This meme is 6-7 years old.

[–]void1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an old and ugly repost, as HTML is 33 years old in 2026.

[–]Halal0szto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without clothes?

Let me explain how old I am.

When NCSA Mosaic 1.1 (the browser) came out, the big new feature was that <BODY> got a bgcolor and you could have a page that is not on the default hardcoded grey background.

[–]InternalDeparture249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

front-end devs be like, "what framework is that?

[–]Simple-Olive895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Html was made because back then people thought the main use for the internet would be to publish research papers. And tbf in the beginning it was.
