That people have short memory. Table/div soup was used to “draw” things back in the mid-late 90′s. Although it can be fun to experiment with, this is not news worthy.

Which concept does this prove?

bitmap has no properties
runCode()bitmapDemo.js (line 26)
onclick()bitmapDemo.js (line 25)
[Break on this error] function runCode() { eval($(‘code’).value+’;'); }

Nice one but seriously – who might ever use this?

For me that’s a really old one.

Look at http://www.walterzorn.com/jsgraphics/jsgraphics_e.htm to see a more interesting library.

Yes, I’d hate to, like, “do experiments” or anything. Before said people get in with performance comments, there’s still some performance optimisation required – remains to be seen how fast it can be pushed.

I was about to be a grumpy bastard then! :)
Its good to have this kind of experimenting going on. Its a bit odd using tables for this kind of thing but I can see places where it could be handy. Good work.

Queue the grumpy bastards with taunts of how “useless” this is…

It’s called “proof of concept,” guys.
