And the saddest part is that, since this list was compiled in the early days of the Web, the vast majority of the examples are from desktop applications -- which means they had access to a standard toolkit of GUI elements. (They may not have understood how to use it, as the examples show, but at least they had it.)

The rise of the Web, which has no such toolkit, as an application platform has therefore opened the doors to UI atrocities the likes of which the perpetrators of these could only dream.
