I was on the same web you were. The one where doc ozone was a bizarre novelty and well over 99.999% of text based sites had no javascript at all, much less being entirely created from javascript.
- WorldMaker 10y agoIt may have been more of a novelty back then, but I remember a lot more than 0.001% of websites having some JS or some Flash (or both), and maybe not many were entirely JS (though there were some I'm trying to recall), there were plenty of websites at the time that were 100% Flash, including the websites of some major corporations. Again, certainly from the perspective of a high school web developer at the time, my "budget" consisted of just about as much JS as a I wanted and could get my hands on, whereas I was on mostly static web hosts which constrained me from doing as much as I would have liked at the time in server side code... I know I wrote some very heavy JS sites at the time, and I know I was not alone in that constraint. Again, sure, it was mostly for novelty, but the web where websites had basically no JS at all was several years before 1999.
