DebugBar forums / IE6 has Canvas support

Tesla2k · 2011-08-30 02:57:08

I tried the following page in IE6 with IETester:
http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/update … ning_with/

The page displayes charts, with html5 canvas.
To my suprise They were all shown correctly in the IE6 Tab.
T don`t think IE6 got canvas support, so this must be somehow wrong.

Hi,

It looks like IETester behaves correctly. The page display charts and specifically says that the library "accessible to people who browse the web with a screen reader or other assistive technology, or with browsers that don't fully support JavaScript or HTML5 Canvas".

So, it degrades nicely under IE6. I tested on a real IE6 under a virtual machine and I have the same displayed page as IETester.

If you are testing on this page:

http://html5demos.com/canvas

you will have a javascript error, the same as the real IE6 and the canvas won't be displayed.

Hope this helps.

Oh, sorry for my mistake. I only looked at the code under Firefox and there it used canvas...

Thank You for your help
