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 ⏳

Yep, mostly updating old pages in the late 1990s, early 00s.

That makes sense, and I'm sure was no easy task with the DOM problems of the era. There are working frame based sites in use today. I worry that newer devs haven't usually been exposed to the techniques and issues lest they are challenged to update such sites. :)

I hope they google how to handle it. The trouble is anything with HTML and effective CSS is so rarely understood by a lot of front-end devs. They followed the $$$ promise of JS.
