Forgotten Web Development Techniques

A note with the title Only 90s Web Developers Remember This caught my eye

It's funny that despite the fact that I was very far from development in the 90s, I remember many of the techniques that are listed well and even used them when I started writing code in the 10s.

Unfortunately or fortunately, things like DHTML and pixel fonts passed me by, but I remember these very well:

<marquee /> - for creating a "running line" effect.

1x1.gif - for creating indents and shifting other elements on the page until your flexbox and grid appear.

A lot of   - I admit, even today I can align text in a few places with a couple of spaces, but in older code, especially from backend developers, I used to see 10   in a row.

The saddest loss from the Internet of the past is the "buttons" in the footer (and not only) of pages with various counters. Some of you will even remember zero.kz.
