then 1 year later MS brought IE 3.0 with "JScript" to "embrace, extend and extinguish" JavaScript https://news.microsoft.com/1996/05/29/microsoft-internet-explorer-3-0-beta-now-available/ https://news.microsoft.com/1996/05/29/microsoft-internet-exp... it was a real pita debugging JScript compatibility issues before the days of jQuery. i guess we did get XMLHttpRequest later in IE 5.0. strange how things turned out.

That and the DOM. We dump on it today, but compared to Netscape's <layer> tags, it was mana from Heaven. IE 4's early stabs at CSS were also already superior to the existing: <font face="arial" color="red" size="8"> The web back then was wild in all senses of the term.
