Why Does Google.Com Have A Javascript Variable Called LOL

If you look at the Google homepage, you’ll notice the following image tag:

<img alt="Google" height="92" id="hplogo" 
src="/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png"
…
onload="window.lol&amp;&amp;lol()">

So when the image tag is loaded, JavaScript checks if 1) a function named `lol` exists, and 2) if so, it runs that function.

What does the function do? Well, it turns out that the function named `lol` will resize and/or relocate the logo image depending on the screen size. So basically it’s responsive web design.

And what does `lol` mean here?

Well, it’s just short for “logo On Load”
