What kind of html/js apps were you making in 2004!?
- stan_rogers 16y agoWell, I was making an online charity auction app for the United Way silly season with 10-second high bid updates for each of 20 - 30 items being auctioned each day. Average number of concurrent users was ~1000. The app supported IE 5+, NS 4.7 and 6, Phoenix/Firebird and Opera (each of our new acquisitions had its own pet house browser). Updates were through 1-pixel iframes/ilayers, and the whole thing ran on a single-processor P III 800Mhz Lotus Domino R5 server. And believe it or not, the problem child was Opera -- CSS backgrounds just would not colour inside the lines in the current version at the time.
