= Adobe Dreamwaver JS functions
Many of the files appear to contain JavaScript functions in a format generated by Adobe Dreamweaver, making it almost certain that at least some of the websites were developed in that editor. This was https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1kye0pj/comment/muzc3zk/[first pointed out by Reddit user sq00q]. Also note that the username spells "<boobs>" upside down in <#leet>.
For example, https://web.archive.org/web/20101230033220/http://starwarsweb.net/[starwarsweb.net] contains the four following functions, first commented out which is funny and has some version comments:
``
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
``
and then repeated on a `body onload`. Here `MM_` stands for MacroMedia, and is mentioned e.g. at:
* https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1h6qyeo/web_developer_age_test_mm_swapimgrestore/
* https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/mm-dreamweaver/24256
Doing:
``
git grep MM_swapImage | sed -r 's/\/.*//' | sort -u | wc
``
on https://github.com/cirosantilli/cia-2010-websites-dump currently gives 64 hits out of 421 websites.
The same signatures are also found on the early websites from 2004 such as https://web.archive.org/web/20040113025122/http://alljohnny.com/[alljohnny.com].
