HTML 3? More likely FORTRAN (the erstwhile ‘language of business’). Canadians coders who wrote the code for Canadian health exchanges - what do you expect? /sarc

How is that possible?

What would you use to build a website like this— Dreamweaver or something comparable? And wouldn’t programs like this be updated to HTML 4 or 5 by now?

You don’t even really need to code HTML anymore, just know about it. The programs do it for you and most are on HTML 4, I think.

Say what you might, but if it were written in Cobol, it would work... (coming from a former Cobol programmer)

“Written in HTML 3 and COBOL maybe?”

Ten years ago the technology was SQL. However the gov databases information it needs to access could very well predate SQL.
