I Made a Version of My Website for NCSA Mosaic

The title pretty much says it all, I went and made a version of my website, coded in HTML 2.0, for the NCSA Mosaic 2.7b web browser.

Why did I do this, you might be asking? Honestly, why not?

I have no real reason for doing this, aside from just wanting to do it.

The idea came to mind after I was doing some research on the Mobile Adapter GB, and read up on how it had a web browser.

I then went and found out what version of HTML the last version of Mosaic supported, which turned out to be 2.0.


Now, my normal website, as it currently stands, is more than readable by Mosaic, however, Mosaic cannot open any HTTPS links, so anywhere off my main site that a link went, it couldn't follow.

I also use CSS for all the actual formatting on the main site, and seeing as Mosaic doesn't do the whole "CSS" thing, I decided to take some... creative liberties, and make a version of my site using nothing but HTML 2.0 and it's available tags.

I ported over some of the pages from the main site, and made any adjustments I deemed warranted.


So that's about it. I don't really have anything else to add!

Long live the open web! Death to JavaScript!
