If you look at the source, you shouldn't be surprised. It uses a very small subset of what is present now in html. It also made me discover that view source was removed from Safari 6 (Without enabling the Developer menu) :(

  You're confusing "website" and "domain name".

  I wasn't there at this time (I'm only 23) but I believe symbolics.com was the first dot-com domain name, not the first website.

    Yep, DNS, along with email, usenet, ftp, gopher, and many other internet services were long-established before "the web" was created.

  Do you not understand where the web was invented? It wasn't at symbolics.com.
  - raghav305 14y ago
    true .. I think symbolics.com is the oldest (still existing) site / registered domain name what was the domain name of this (whatever is on the post) site ? when was it registered? anyone??

I was surprised the source started with a <header> tag. I thought the header tag was introduced in HTML5. http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tag_header.asp http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tag_header.asp

  Note that the HEADER tag here was replaced by HEAD in subsequent HTML versions. The current HEADER is a completely different beast, falling inside the BODY. The neat thing is that, since the BODY exists and there is no HTML node, current browsers are able to interpret this HEADER as if it were HEAD.
