• 21:22, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page Extending Internet Explorer 6+ Compatibility Using Layered Fallthrough Techniques (Created page with " This article documents a practical and deliberately engineered approach to extending compatibility for Internet Explorer 6 and later, running on Windows 2000-class systems and above. By combining conditional targeting, JScript-based execution paths, hybrid Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and Client-Side Rendering (CSR), custom polyfills, and IE-specific technologies such as Filters, VML, VRML, and plug-in hosted engines, it is possible to deliver surprisingly rich and usabl...")
• 20:12, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page JScript and Other Interesting Quirks of Internet Explorer (Created page with " Internet Explorer is often remembered for its incompatibilities and proprietary behaviour. However, many of its quirks — particularly around JScript and the browser runtime — were early experiments that anticipated features later standardised across the web. Understanding these decisions provides valuable insight into how modern JavaScript engines, APIs, and developer tools evolved. == Context == During the late 1990s and early 2000s, the web was still defining i...")
• 20:06, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page We’re All Still Living the DHTML Dream (Created page with " Modern web applications often present themselves as revolutionary, but much of what we build today is a direct continuation of ideas formed during the DHTML era. The tools have changed, the performance has improved, and the APIs are richer — but the underlying dream remains the same: dynamic, responsive, application‑like experiences delivered over documents. == Context == In the late 1990s and early 2000s, '''Dynamic HTML (DHTML)''' promised something radical for...")
• 20:05, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page The XML Stack: A Dynamic Platform That Didn’t Make It (Created page with "Long before modern JavaScript frameworks and JSON-based APIs, the web nearly standardised on a complete, declarative application platform built from XML, XPath, XPointer, and XSLT. This article explores what that platform was, what it was capable of, and why it quietly disappeared — despite solving many problems we still grapple with today. == Context == * XML was never intended to be “just a document format”. * It was designed as a structured, machine-readable da...")
• 19:04, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page Describing HTTP Endpoints and Discovery (Created page with "HTTP endpoints are the public “doors” into a system. How those doors are described, exposed, and discovered determines whether an API is usable, evolvable, and maintainable. This article explains what HTTP endpoints really are, how clients discover them, and why good discovery design matters more than most people realise. == Context == HTTP was not originally designed for APIs — it was designed for '''documents linked together'''. APIs inherited HTTP, and with i...")
