title: How was this website made, what's Frontpage 5.0?
body: <p>A friend of mine had "<strong>a friend make a website</strong>" for her, but this person is no longer contactable, so she asked me "why it looks <strong>different in Firefox</strong> and the links don't work".</p>
  
  <p>Looking at the source, it seems to have been made with "<strong>Frontpage 5.0</strong>" but also has a <strong>"Microsoft Office" XML namespace</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>What I find interesting is that it apparently checks the browser and if it is not IE, it simply outputs a website made up of <strong>large, bad looking .gifs</strong> on which, not surprisingly, the links don't work.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the site: <a href="http://sprachschule-polyglott.de" rel="noreferrer">http://sprachschule-polyglott.de</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm theoretically interested in how this site was made, and thought it might be interesting for others, perhaps as an example for a presentation of the bad old days of the Internet, a relic from last decade's browser wars.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone tell me <strong>how this site was made</strong>?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Was this made with <strong>Frontpage 98</strong>?</li>
  <li>Or is it just an export-to-website output from some version of <strong>Microsoft Word</strong>?</li>
  <li>I actually used Frontpage 98 back in the 90s but I don't recall even then that it output "an alternative website as .gifs" for Netscape. That's pretty non-compatible even for the day. Anyone know how the background to this method of "browser compatibility", was it an option in Frontpage or Microsoft word to "<strong>render as graphics for non-IE browsers</strong>"?</li>
