HTML Nostalgia: 10 Things From the 90s - moorelilly1969

If you've been alive long enough, then you'll likely remember:

• Walkmans being cool
• Pyramids being impertinently made-up
• Some of the antique HTML techniques

Left Menu With Background

The idea is: you take a long-term background and blusher the left side sullen:

The technique was the second popular after Michael Jackson. Back in the day when the background-discolour attribute didn't exist yet, it was a smart invention to commingle page background with ii-column table over it.

We inactive accept the bequest of this quick fix. That's the reason why we look for navigation on the left-wing side of the screen, even to this twenty-four hour period.

Round Corners With Tables

Life is good in 2017: mass delight Snapchat and the border-wheel spoke CSS property.
Non back in 1996. People used to Hunt mammoths and make round corners with tables:

This insanely beautiful button would have toll you just 8 images and a table 3×3.

Nostalgia? Give in your ubiquitous website a reach of beauty.

Best Viewed in…

Browsers were part of the webmaster's personality:

Everything Under Construction

Somehow it became common to deploy things that don't exist.

Awards

Home pages were covered with awards alike the chests of elflike time dictators.

We must admit these awards are fake. We didn't deserve them. They come from Theme Rad. Present's some more.
A variant of this scam is the software awards short-change. In cardinal notorious sheath, the software with the description "This program does nothing at all" won 16 awards:

It's hard to believe that the award scam unmoving exists in the software downloads industry. After submitting our Icons8 App to Softpedia, they offered to give us the "100% clean" label.
The art of creating awards is tranquillise preserved.

Defer Guys

Table guys are those who resisted CSS even into the iPhone era. They pointed out the penniless browser support for CSS and kept mastering the art of speed typewriting.

I did it with our website once in 2009 and it looked okeh. But everybody else refused to work with my code.

Did you ever write so many tables that your browser froze? Past you get it on something that we'll call "table profiling": optimization of the tables for quicker rendering.

<blink>

Son of thousands fathers Netscape. Usableness disaster. Infant terrible of Hypertext markup language. You won't admit, but hey! You've tried it at least formerly. We know it. You know it. It's ok.

For the nostalgic among you, you can reproduce it with CSS.

1×1.gif for Padding

Everybody had one. Padding-bottom was:

          <br><img src=1x1.gif width=1 height=8></br>                  

Zero spaces betwixt the tags!

50 kb Limit

Pages weighed under 50 kb. Backpacking 100 K into a single page made you a public enemy.

Image Maps

Maybe you regular remember the name of your favorite image correspondenc editor program.

More

Let's cancel our memories together. Chances are, you'll remember lovingly:

• Everyone had anonymous File transfer protocol. On that point are 1 zillion of those yet.
• MIDI techno!

• And your first alcohol intoxication.
