I see an iteration of every possible factor for the numbers given. Continuing from 999 further on to 1400, the code doesn't work anymore (It claims 1369 to be prime). So, to be precise, the code does not compute 'primes', the

I see your point, and I think we share a point of view. But when using lookup tables, I consider the computation of the lookup table a part of the algorithm - after all, a lookup table is essentially an optimization: You extract a sub-compu

Good catch - I didn't differentiation between n as 'upper limit for primes' and n as 'input length'. The former is more intuitive, which makes your solution more accurate. (Also, I should have played it safe and use

I think using JavaScript would move the concept even further away from "computing primes with CSS". It would just do some things on the fly that the author did with python.

Code size increases in Θ(n^(0.5)) I agree that the title is somewhat misleading - it is (to me) as much a 'computation of prime numbers' as a lookup table would be.
