Curious as to how many #webdev #webdesign #UX folks worked on HTML frame-based (<frameset> makes me giggle now) sites back in the day. Or even now! 🤣 The Web Mistakes Confessional is now open ⏳

I absolutely did. Then, I discovered the wonders of DHTML, so I could fake frames without the frameset element. I loaded the whole content of the site into separate divs on 1 page, and swapped them out with JS. Super fast performance once it all loaded.

Ha! Was this during <div> v. <layer> and DOM incompatibility in IE and NN ca. 1998 I wonder? :)
