The IE6 Demoscene

There's an active community of people in the demoscene writing code for long-"obsolete" platforms like C64, Atari, NES, etc. These platforms are slow, quirky, and relatively limited, yet they can do all these amazing things with them.

Seeing all these HTML5 "new features" demos, the thought occurred to me: what can we do with a more limited browser? Not something really limited like Lynx, but something still considered obsolete yet maybe more powerful than most people would think. How about IE6? It has JavaScript so you can write programs in it, lots of undocumented/buggy behaviour, and relatively slow, so could be compared to a C64 in some ways. (Lynx would be like a 4004.) What sort of things can you do with it? Should there be a demoscene category "Platform: IE6"?

Discuss.

stop already, it is not even fun, Microsoft would tamper any competitor attempt by releasing MOAR [poorly documented] FEATURES, even their own teams don't communicate well

>per-site/per-zone configurable security settings
yes, I also miss it and IE > Chrome > Firefox in this aspect

>some browsers are vastly more inefficient
space × time is a tradeoff, but of course you know that... because IE is RUBY AS FUCK

>Standards has nearly nothing to do with it
well, so you better sit your anus in my dick and teach me how to surf web servers without following their standards (do it gently please ;)

>aren't easy to implement, and in that case they're better off not being used
of course, because everything is solved with a CRUD with rounded corners
[okay... if the FEATURE is cumbersome, you shouldn't use it. but implementation problems shouldn't be the last word, e.g. do you remember how RDBMS were born?]

><table><tr><td><iframe src="file1.txt"></iframe><td><iframe src="file2.txt"></iframe></table>
mfw tables everywhere, mwahahahaha [I actually don't care if it solves the problem, html is stupid and there's no right thing to do with it]
