Man, I remember wondering if Javascript would ever be widespread or enabled enough for me to even make use of it. Not to mention how useless it was until the DOM got "sorted".

Everything since then has been a kind of slow, gradual surprise.

I made the same experience, especially when I discovered jQuery and other cross-browser libraries.

Before, most scripts went along the document.write(document.lastModified);-line. And if I remember correctly, not even that worked in all browsers correctly. Made me give up rather quick.
