Need some max-width to whatever the average screen was back in 1999.
True story, I re-uploaded a website that I wrote in 1999, only now I discover that my header was never centered, if was just floating left. It's the only thing that look off, everything else is working perfectly. HMTL/CSS/JS is really a stable stack for the computer field.

- exodust 4y ago800 pixels was common screen width in 99. Even then it was not considered good practice design-wise to allow text to run the full width like it did in the mid 90s! No max-width, it had to be constrained with tables. Yep agree it's a stable stack. I have a few archived sites I made in the 90s that work fine in today's browser, rollover JS buttons and all. My disdain for IE is visible in code. I was a Netscape guy for sure! if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE 3")== -1) { imageObjectSupported = true; // this line only executes in browsers that support Javascript 1.1 except of course for IE3, which thinks it supports Javascript 1.1, but doesn't. }
