Hi I have managed to make excanvas work in IE8 for simple examples however I couldn't make the following canvas example which contain drawimage work at IE8. Does anyone have any experience with excanvas and drawimage. Thanks for your help...
var foo = document.getElementById("foo");
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');`
canvas.setAttribute("width", 300);
canvas.setAttribute("height", 300);
foo.appendChild(canvas);
canvas= G_vmlCanvasManager.initElement(canvas);
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.save();
ctx.clearRect( 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height );
ctx.translate( canvas.width/2 , canvas.height/2 );
ctx.drawImage( image, -165, -160 );
ctx.rotate( 100 * Math.PI / 180);
ctx.drawImage( image2, -13, -121.5 );
ctx.restore();
image1.src = 'img.png';
image2.src = 'img2.png';
Use a test case to isolate drawImage:
