Web-Based FileBrowser... for 68k Macs.

One of the problems I have is that I have a lot of ideas and I'm quick to start them, but I'm just as quick to abandon them when I get too frustrated.  I'll then constantly revisit the ideas in short, creative bursts.  Some I finish, most I don't, and I always have way too much going on at one time.

Wow, it looks nice! I have to say you've inspired me, lol. What roadblock did you hit? I could image that being a mirror site for Macintosh Garden or something, which doesn't display correctly on old browsers itself.

Do you know any HTML4?

I know a little, plus a very small amount of CSS (this was in 2009, so most of it has likely been forgotten, but it's in there somewhere).

Oh wow! The screen is very inspiring.

Was there going to be some upload feature on your server ?

Something more difficult than HTML 3. :p
Well, if you ever need help PHP-wise, I can lend a hand. I'm always looking for ways to practice my skills, and that's definitely something I'd enjoy helping out with. (I'm even already thinking about how the code would look... lol).

No upload feature.  I was just going to host my own files.  I was just going to organize all the files into folders, then a PHP script or something would parse the files, then generate the HTML as a list (as seen on the screen shot.)

That was about it, nothing fancy.

However, one thing I really wanted to do was scan box art, disk labels, and manuals so people could download the whole game.  Even the inserts and adverts.  I really wanted it to be a real archive of nostalgia. :)

the administration page for my mobile app activation and registration backend is written in PHP/HTML only. looks ok on an old browser as well as a modern one. Of course its simple frames and tables with lines/boarders, but hey. its functional.

Ah, well you won't see tables on this software unless you activate simple mode. The modern portion is all lovely modern CSS with divs.

Here's some Alpha screenshots (Yah, those are Mac OS icons.. just placeholders):

The modern mode (in the screenshots) runs well on OS 9.2.2 in Classilla, and I've tried simple mode on System 7.6.1 in IE 4.01. I plan on testing those other browsers as well as Netscape.
