They actually left the original Space Jam site up. I think the developers knew its importance.

https://www.spacejam.com/1996/

They managed to break https://www.spacejam.com/ though. It redirects to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ which has a bad cert and then goes into a redirect loop.

So broken after just 4 years

Oh man I forgot all about <frameset> and <frame> tags to create navigation. From the early days before we had dynamic sites or static site generators with templates, we had our browsers do our "templating" for us!

  • frameset was THE basis for building manual-style resources back in the day!

    * nav header; search (if you could figure out how to make it work)

    * Table of contents

    * main content pane

    fun times!

Nice! Never knew that. I wish more companies with popular sites did this. I'm sure it cost them about no money nor time to just shovel it off like this.
