in no way elegant, but yes, with js, it's possible with netscape 3 and up, possibly with 2.

html, http, js, css are pretty thorough in their design, and it shows.

all the features described here are possible without any frameworks, this is merely a much easier way to build it than from scratch.

Yes, but I was replying to someone who said that we got all of this with cgi-bin. That’s like saying, “I can code a modern app in assembly, therefore there’s been no progress here”.
