Professionally: the double margin float bug in Internet Explorer 6 and hoping for the demise of IE5.
Also, I was aware of IE5 for Mac (different bugs to regular IE5) but never had a Mac at the time to try it out. Now we have Edge for Mac, so what goes around comes around, I guess.
My first web experience: all elements in capital letters and no CSS. Yay for <FONT> and <CENTER> and of course <BLINK> and <MARQUEE>.
Been using UNIX since the late 80s; Linux since the mid-90s; virtualization since the early 2000s and spent the past few years working in the cloud space.

Yeah. It was great, alright. Especially when you worked for a company that was Windows based but the only thing on your desktop was a Solaris box because you were in Unix Operations. "You need to do a daily timecard ...but the timecard system only works under IE" (and the IE for Solaris didn't quiiiiiiiiiiite render the page correctly).

I still remember DHTML menus and all that stuff.
IE on Solaris was quite a lot better, mostly because they didn’t even try to implement half of it.

That sounds horrible!
Entire site layout done in tables.
Nested tables
...with some CSS thown in that rendered completely differentely in IE than in Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox.
Styling MySpace pages! Which were just nested tables with no
classnames orids. So all the CSS had to look likeThe marquee days... I still remember those websites were full of GIF ads 😂
This gif was a thing at those times:
FLAMINGTEXT! I miss hokey 00s web stuff!
