Tables are anything but responsive. Responsiveness is not about fluidly changing the width of elements. You can't for example change 3 column layout to 1 column with tables.

The only viable use of tables for layout is when you need to center something vertically. Even then it's better to skip using the tag and apply display: table; and display: table-cell; to respective elements.


Building from the first picture, The Prudential[0], looks pretty much the same right now[1]. I don't know if the actual renovation started already or not but hopefully it'll be turned into this[2].

Edit2: I just remembered there is a movie showing Warsaw in 1935[3] and another one when city was destroyed in 1939[4]. I encourage you to visit Warsaw Rising Museum if you ever have a chance.

last time I visited Warsaw it was in much worse shape than on google maps photo. Hope it'll get into [2] soon :)

p.s. I grew up really close to it - like a block away. Seeing photos of the streets around my block at the time when you could see horizon and ruins... frisson.


It was pretty awful when I stayed there many years ago.



I'm glad someone shares my opinion on this. Drawing with CSS is like moving to a new place using a cartwheel instead of a truck.

I see those comments mostly coming from people that used wordpress once in 2005 and never touched it since.

I thought it's a tool for designing websites - nope.


It isn't -- it's a tool for designing ads.

Calling it "Google Web Designer" was a terrible decision, but that's clearly not what the tool was meant for.


Ad development is the last listed feature, if that is the main purpose of the app then their website is very misleading.


I agree it's very misleading but they do clarify it in the first sentence of the help page.

Google Web Designer is an advanced web application that's built with HTML5 which lets you design and build HTML5 advertisements and other web content using an integrated visual and code interface

"In the first version, each time you create a person, a new sayHi function will be created for him, where as in the second version, only one sayHi function is ever created, and is shared amongst all persons that are created - because Person.prototype is their parent. Thus, declaring methods on the prototype is more memory efficient."


Ah, you're right, I missed that. Small amount of bile revoked.

But it should have been MUCH more strongly emphasized as the only way to do it, unless you have a very good reason, not tucked down in the bottom as "oh, if you feel like it, here's a trick to make your code a little better." Especially in a tutorial that's meant for beginners in JS.
