I already had to do app like functionality in the enterprise space, so writing out framesets in popup windows based on calculated information was common. Some of the JS had so many "parent." it felt like navigating a huge harddrive on console using "cd .."

Ah yes. This. The framesets were always in a pop-up window :)

Let me guess there was also an iframe in pop-up box with an ad and the ad service in code that doesn't exist in any specification whatsoever used to see that all the time we were creative to say the least ;-)
