Long time no see, Microsoft FrontPage

June 11, 2016

Whenever I’m having issues with my internet connection, I always instinctively open the modem’s page.

This time, I decided to look at the HTML source code.

View Page Source Right Click Menu
Right Click > View Page Source

And here’s what I found:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<!-- saved from url=(0037)indexdata.html -->
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type>
<META content=no-cache http-equiv=Pragma>
<META content="Wed, 30 Apr 1975 02:00:00 GMT" http-equiv=Expires>
<META content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0" name=GENERATOR>
<script language="JavaScript" src="utility.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY aLink=#7b2939 link=#485a91 text=#000000 vLink=#7b2939 onload="onloadmainpage()">
...

It’s been a while since I last saw a Microsoft FrontPage-generated website.

Microsoft FrontPage 2002

This took me back…
