Yeah that’s not how I remember the early Internet.
More like gifs everywhere, wild colours, you have to have that fancy html marquee! And terrible layouts, because aligning divs is difficult.
Good times

  Landing pages, too. Often with a corny Shockwave animation.

Why deal with float when you can use a table?

divs were added in the late 90’s… that is not what I’d call early internet

  I mean, it may be subjective, but Internet was open to public in '93, and divs were specced in '97.
  It was more of a joke anyway. The layouts were often tables long after divs if I’m not mistaken

    Yeah, definitely subjective, but to me the early days of the web were before HTML 2 - so up to 1995.
    
    And yeah, so many tables for a long time… Mostly because it was a bit messy to work with and had limitations, not to mention browser support requirements and a pretty fast moving sets of specs…
    
    It was fun though.
