JScript was introduced with IE 3 (1996)
Dynamic HTML (modifying the page with javascript) was introduced with IE 4 (1997)
iframes were introduced with HTML 4 (1998) I think.
XMLHttpRequest was introduced with IE 5 (1999)
So 1998 era, maybe, but Javascript had a reputation as being slow and buggy. Flash, Java applets, and even active X were more acceptable technology at the time.
(Not trying to dismiss Netscape in my timeline -- I wrote it with respect to Microsoft implementing it.)
- Retric 11y agoClassic embrace, extend, extinguish, JScript(1996) was like JavaScript(1995), but a little late and not quite the same thing. Which made JavaScript seem a lot more buggy than it was because MS implemented something just a little different.
