That's strange, I still use markup every day in the current year.
To add to the strangeness, every website I inspect with browser tools shows me it has HTML. Are all websites from the 90's?
- Blahah 9y agoIt's possible to make arbitrarily sophisticated websites without serving any HTML except a script tag. The browser shows you HTML to represent the DOM, but it doesn't mean sites are serving any significant amount of it. (most still are though - I was just pointing out that it's possible to avoid it almost completely)
- chris__butters 9y agoIt's worth noting this is tailored towards web applications where as HTML can be used by any website - marketing, brand experience or otherwise including web app.
- SomeStupidPoint 9y agoJokes on them -- I have JS turned off on my phone except a few websites. I'm not paying outrageous mobile bandwidth fees for bloated websites and ads that cost me more in bandwidth than they make. So for 90% of my browsing, I'll click on their page, see nothing, and move on with my day.
- chris__butters 9y agoJS is used for a lot more than just adverts, just install an adblocker on your phone
- SomeStupidPoint 9y agoMany websites use JS that is slow and jumpy -- bloated -- on a phone, especially a cheaper one like I use. Also, I like to use Chrome on my phone, so installing an adblocker is a lot of work for little benefit. It would slow down the already laggy rendering and require I either use a different browser or let an app intercept network traffic. I'm perfectly happy not using JS (or for that matter, media) on my phone.
- talmand 9y agoSure, you can do that. Serve a JS file that happens to create the HTML on the fly that someone had to code beforehand. Serving just a JS file that outputs HTML is still using markup.
