Thanks. This explains it, neither of these browsers does support WebGL.
"It sounds like you're targeting the next crop of as-yet unreleased browsers for your thing. You might want to note that on the demo somewhere, since pretty much nobody but you will be able to make it work right now without downloading a new browser."
Exactly, you are right. WebGL demos are very much work in progress. They are targeted for browsers which should reach mainstream just sometimes early next year.
There is supposed to be an alert about missing WebGL support, but yes, this could be handled in a nicer way.
Khronos (WebGL standards body) has some plans for handling this "properly". There is a site where should be "official" explanations and instructions how to get WebGL running:
http://get.webgl.org/ http://get.webgl.org/
Idea is that application developers could then just point users to this. Though as this is not ready yet, people resort to own case-by-case solutions.
