I am doing retro web development, reminding the struggling days with the browser wars (Netscape vs IE). Yes, I am a masochist.
But doing it now with all the knowledge I acquired in 25 years is absolutely much more easier now. I am developing a simple page with three column layout, header and footer (no tables) and it works awesomely well. So well that when I was testing on Windows 95 Internet Explorer, I thought it was IE 5.0 till I checked the version... the page still displays great even on IE 4.0 !
As for Netscape 4.x... forget it Netscape 4.x at that moment was snubbing CSS in favor of their own standard (JSSS). They later regretted it and went to the use the CSS standards from NN6 onwards.
Page displays great with old CSS style code even on RetroZilla and modern browsers. Next challenge is to make it responsive so it can work on smartphones as well.
