Here is my favourite from the "DHTML" era: http://www.ozones.com/ http://www.ozones.com/
I can't believe that people don't even remember that word anymore. Just getting this crap to work at all, let alone look good, or work cross-browser, was a miracle. This is the before browsers had developer tools at all and often you'd have to guess what was wrong when you had layout or styling issues. Years later, firebug came and fixed a bunch of that. Script errors were arcane and horrifying.
Sigh. We needn't have suffered through so much in the dark ages of the web :-) I don't miss any of that at all, aside from the cool looking websites.
- justkez 9y agoI lost countless hours trying to replicate the DHTML effects from ziggen.com (Sigurd Mannsaker) - that site repeatedly demonstrated an utter mastery of Dynamic HTML (without making your mouse cursor have a trail...) Some similar era sites that evoke memories... * k10k.net (http://www.cubancouncil.com/work/project/kaliber-10000 http://www.cubancouncil.com/work/project/kaliber-10000) * http://www.chapter3.net/imperium/ http://www.chapter3.net/imperium/ * http://www.zeldman.com http://www.zeldman.com * Joshua Davis' Dreamless.org and Praystation

- amyjess 9y agoMy favorite from back then was MyWebOS. Long dead, doesn't even have a Wikipedia article, but it impressed me that they could do a desktop GUI back then without resorting to Java or Flash.
