When did blogs start showing a 'loading' screen, then doing a weird scroll thing at load, and having stuff unfolding near the scrollbar?

- jakob223 11y agoBlogger's been doing this for a while.
- marssaxman 11y agoHow gross! I used to like Blogger.
- stephengillie 11y agoWhen they got bloated down by designers trying to reinvent HTML 1.1 in Javascript. This page won't show with Javascript disabled, and that's a shame. There's nothing on that page that can't exist as flat HTML. There's nothing on that page that requires Javascript, but the page won't function without it for some reason. Do we still downvote/flag comments that aren't directly related to the content of the linked material?
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoHave an up vote. I get down voted every time I complain about the javascriptification of the web.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoDid the same as JustSomeNobody for same reason. We did a ton of stuff without Javascript in late 90's and even automated lots of it. Even did menus without it (see dynamicdrive.com). Now even basic blog entries need it to prevent a messed up experience. "Progress." (sighs) Least it's a lot faster & better on the sites that actually need it. :)
