Web Application Issues

The previous programmer left the site in a pretty unusable state, and it's hard for me to change anything. I am new to web design, so I don’t know if my skills are inconsistent with this kind of job or normal in the real industry to have websites like these

  • Three frames are presented on the main page.
  • Each of these frames has its own javascript functions (between <head>, and also calls other common javascript functions (using<script src=..>
  • Overuse document.all- in fact, elements are referenced or accessed only by document.all.
  • Excessive use of XSLT and web services. Although I know that using web services is usually considered a good design choice - is there any other way I can use these services besides using xslt. For example, a menu is created using the data returned by the web method.
  • Everyone <div>, <td>and every other element has id and the id manipulated javascript functions, and then based on them loading some relevant web services and xslt files.
  • From a security point of view, he used T-SQL for xml autofor most of the data returned by the web service, a good security choice to display table names and column names to the end user

I am very confused about the state of the application itself. Should I learn about the intricacies that he developed and continue to work on it, or should I start rewriting everything? What I am very puzzled with is the lack of alternatives - and is this the usual way when web projects are processed in the real world or is this an exception?

Any suggestions, any pointers are welcome. Thanks

In addition, working on small parts will help you become better acquainted with the project and the needs of the business, so when you begin to rewrite, you will have a better perspective.
