As everyone knows by now, Google launched Google Calendar today. Behold the wonders of Ajax, and so on. I enjoyed a look at the code, since Google is, aside from creating many great products, is known for their efficiency, trimming off every unnecessary byte. Here’s some very curious code that lies within, behold:
<div style="padding: 0ex 14ex;" id="ft">
<div style="margin-top: 4px;" class="c xs">
<div style="color: #444444; margin-top: 4px;" id="pagebottom">
<div style="visibility: hidden">a low-budget spacer!</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Seriously, I am not making this up. When this portion is removed (can be done via ‘Edit HTML’ with Firefox’s Web Developer extension) it shows that this whole thing is used merely to move the ‘Search My Calendars’ box down by 11 pixels.
