That avatar is way too busy. Can you slow it down some?

What was it about frames that made them so popular for a brief period of time, and then so reviled immediately after? There was no transition between the two, either. First frames were awesome, then they were teh suk. There was only a week at most between the two general design philosophies.

Mostly search engines. Frames break up content into multiple files making info hard to crawl.

Frames originally gained popularity due to what AJAX would now be used for; loading new content into a certain area without refreshing the entire page.

Frames, like the blink tag, were good ideas that were abused to hell and back, and as such, left a bad impression when people saw them.

Frames also scale poorly.

You could still use iframes for that back then, which are widely used now as well.

Yes, but no one uses iframes for page layout. They use it to bring in elements from other websites, like they're supposed to be used.

There's nothing to stop you from bringing in elements of your own website in an iframe that you can refresh without refreshing everything else. It's what many people outside of Geocities did before AJAX.

Moot point. People still never used iframes for site layout/structure like they did regular framesets or tables.

Let us pause for a moment in reflection of how awesome CSS is.

Thank you.

Something I noticed today is when you make a very basic table, there aren't borders when rendered in Google Chrome. There's also a few pixels of spacing. In the past on Internet Explorer there were big borders by default, and no spacing. When did this change?

Post subject:  Re: Professional Websites, 15 Years Ago

Unless it's changed since the last time I looked, 2 pixel spacing and 2 pixel padding are standard for html tables.

Generally speaking, there are no standard defaults for anything in CSS with respect to margins, padding, borders, font stuff, etc. The W3 docs just don't specify a starting state. Different browsers choose defaults. It's usually wise to do a CSS global reset for any significant design work, so that you're starting from a known state, though you might get away with just resetting a few specific elements for smaller projects.

Bell Bottoms.
Rat tails.
Duck's Asses.
Jerry Curls.
Aviator Sunglasses.
Fanny Packs.
Mullets.
Jean over-alls.

All of these things at one point in time a large population of people thought were very cool and fashionable. The web of the 90s was no different. There are things about your current every day life today that people 20 years from now will look back on and laugh and ridicule you over.

It's the circle of life.
