DHTML JS tutorial, 2006

at first we would haul out the binder of MSDN CD-ROMs and use the sidebar menu (DHTML, wave of the future) later we advanced to taking awful advice from the comments on php.net

Yes, they are finally at 1998, when Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator fought over css standards and when dhtml was the next big thing. Just 28 years to go :)

JavaScript was great in the DHTML days doing what it was designed for, basic interactivity within the browser. But twisting it into something it was never designed for was the issue, it was too late to re architect it. And it got too unwieldy to do anything of significance, heck we didn't even get actual debugging until ff in 2004 and firebug.

I bet my early career on Java webstart in order to avoid writing “toy” web apps or DHTML now I am a pauline apostle of hypermedia life is funny

Faut retenir qu'un mec qui est prof depuis X années a pas bossé dans le milieu depuis X années, en école d'ingénieur en 2010 ça te parlait de DHTML dans les cours de JS alors que ça faisait quelques années que tout le monde passait à Jquery

For a long time, I've kept saying that I've been a developer for 18 years. But in reality: - It's been 20 years since I started (2006) - 14 as a professional (2012) - 11 as a Laravel developer (2015) This is crazy, especially when I see young developers who never knew Internet Explorer, DHTML, table layouts, <CAPITALIZED HTML MARKUP>, PHP 4, Flash and Action Script, no YouTube, no Chrome, etc. Some are even younger and used AI from the start. We can't possibility put ourselves in their shoes and understand their perspective.

Life is too short to code in C . But if we including coding, I speak English, pseudocode, C , SQL, T-SQL, Powershell, HTML, DHTML, Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Javascript, JSON, YAML, and Bash. I also know a smattering of German, Latin, read Hebrew and have a basic vocabulary.

Honestly, from an old HyperTalk programmer, HTML and JS is far faster, better known, and more capable. I was at one point considering writing a NPAPI plugin to add language=HyperTalk to Navigator, but DHTML moved faster than I could get around to it. Now we have wasm and Node etc

その昔、dhtmlとかshtmlとかもありましてね…！

昔は、dhtml っていう拡張子もあったで。

Web işlerinde ne kadar eskisiniz? Ben zamanında DynamicDrive'dan DHTML & JS kodları kopyalayıp kullanırdım.

2010 wants its DHTML back

えくしびさま、おはようございます☀ インターネット関連に限定すると… DHTML ３キャリア対応 公式サイトと勝手サイト ユビキタス ネチズン アッオー とか、いかがでしょか。

CSS animations :D Nested tables, before <div> became a thing. Sometimes with <iframe> even though frames were considered unholy at some point in time. Then CSS was getting common around 1998 and later DHTML got some traction. Played with PHP5 then went to learn C around 2000

LOL, gotta love a typeless language. I remember, when I did UI, having to debug it. At least now you have a more unified browser model. I had to write DHTML that worked for every browser. If you’ve not detected User-Agent, you’ve not truly enjoy JS yet. LOL

It's worth pointing out that it was Microsoft, not Google, who invented the technologies underlying the modern web, aka "Ajax": DOM and DHTML (IE4) and Xmlhttprequest (asynchrony) (IE5). Microsoft innovated and then fumbled.

When I left school I worked with computers and used 'binary' or 'machine code' as we called it back then. Java, python, C etc. The internet happened, and when it was available for everyone or nearly everyone there was DOS, then the first word processing like WordStar, along came Windows 95 the overblown home computer operating system, Apple of course, then I got into web design and learnt html, dhtml, Perle, macromedia flash, javascript, and many more. How things have changed, where you can now go online and a basic website designer knocks up a site for you from a ready made template so you need no knowledge because all you're allowed to do is cosmetic alterations to personalise your website. You have nothing to do with the server side and don't need to learn it. Linux, Red Hat etc. Windows. AI can do all this stuff in split seconds by us just telling it what we want. It's been amazing seeing the changes in IT. Knowing the International Space Station was run on the old 486 computers for years was a bit concerning but they were reliable and great computers. I feel so lucky to have grown up and grown old seeing all this happen, and to see what @elonmusk is doing with SpaceX and AI is just amazing. Who'd have thought all this was possible when only in the 1980's the latest 500mb hard drive would just about fit in a 8ft x 8ft room and was fawned over as the latest, fastest super hard drive available at that time. Now we have our smart phones that fit in our hands easily, which are goodness knows how much faster and holds so much more data than those big old hard drives ever could. Comparing it to sat in my parents living room watching Russian and American space ships launch and orbit our world then the first men land on the moon, their re-entry back to Earth and landing in the oceans suspended on flimsy parachutes. It was mind blowing back then, and @elonmusk can get a rocket many times larger go up and come down in one piece and park itself in a hanging clasping framework vertically is almost unbelievable. Yep, it's been an amazing journey and I wouldn't change it for the world. Being a 50's baby I think I lived through the best decades in history, the good and the bad, so much advancement, so much to learn. I just wish I could live another 30yrs to see @elonmusk's moon and mars settlements. But unfortunately no-one's found the cure for ageing and longevity.

Remember DHTML?
