About The Catacombs About The Catacombs
The Catacombs were created on 17th March 1998, and were opened on the web on 20th April 1998. On 8th August 1999, the Catacombs moved from the old Geocities site to Space1999.Net.
Some of the material that originally appeared on the site may appear in a book about the series.
Very old browsers, including Netscape 4, may not render pages properly. All known smart-phones and tablets should be fine.
Javascript and style sheets are used extensively, but this is not a multimedia site and there is just a few video and audio media. Most pages are modern HTML5, with some older W3C HTML 4.01 Transitional standard and XHTML 1.0. CSS is used extensively, and responsive design is used, but there are still some table-based layouts.
The image-popup effect is created using Highslide JS. Highslide is free for noncommercial sites, but requires a license for commercial sites.
There are about 5400 pages in this version of the site. There are over 40,000 pictures, but the site is designed so it can be viewed in text-only mode.
