HTML 5's canvas tag implemented using Silverlight
- ajg1977 17y agoVery impressive, this could be a great way to allow developers to begin using <canvas> now and have a fallback for unsupported browsers (yes you IE).
- tewks 17y agoVery cool stuff. It's nice to see another fallback for IE support aside from explorercanvas.
- sho 17y agoYou have got to be kidding me. Why the hell can't they just implement it properly, in the browser? Oh no can't do that, but you might be able to simulate having something resembling the proper functionality by installing our proprietary closed source crapware plugin! The audacity of these motherfuckers never ceases to amaze me. Can't wait until IE is under 50%. It already is on some sites. Maybe then the team of all-star douches behind it will realise they can't play these stupid tricks anymore and try their hand at making a good web browser for once in their worthless lives.
- steverb 17y agoThe "they" in this case have nothing to do with IE. David just decided to see if he could do it. You know, for the fun of it. Get a grip.
- sho 17y ago"nothing to do with IE" Huh? It's on MSDN. And pimping Silverlight. Suuuure, nothing to do with IE. Uh-huh. You get a grip, Mr New Account with 1 comment. So what do you say when people ask you what you do? "Oh, I create accounts on discussion sites and pretend to be excited about Microsoft products"
