I mean, it may be subjective, but Internet was open to public in '93, and divs were specced in '97.
It was more of a joke anyway. The layouts were often tables long after divs if I'm not mistaken

    Yeah, definitely subjective, but to me the early days of the web were before HTML 2 - so up to 1995.

    And yeah, so many tables for a long time... Mostly because it was a bit messy to work with and had limitations, not to mention browser support requirements and a pretty fast moving sets of specs...

    It was fun though.
