151    <h4>Introduction</h4>
152   
153    <p>
154        As of December 2009 RGraph now works partially with Internet Explorer without Google Chrome Frame.
155        Charts are rendered as VML. You are still recommended to use
156        <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/">Google Chrome Frame</a> to get the best results.
157        The interactive features are unlikely to work correctly. RGraph only works with Microsoft
158        Internet Explorer 8.
159    </p>
160   
161    <p>
162        Thanks go to everyone involved with the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/explorercanvas/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ExCanvas project</a> for providing the ExCanvas library.
163    </p>
164   
165    <a name="getting"></a>
166    <h4>Getting hold of ExCanvas</h4>
167   
168    <p>
169        Google ExCanvas is distributed with RGraph in the "excanvas" directory. There is a minified gzip compressed version, along
170        with the original.
171    </p>
172
173    <a name="caveats"></a>
174    <h4>Caveats</h4>
175   
176    <ul>
177        <li>The interactive features of RGraph are unlikely to work correctly with MSIE 8.</li>
178        <li>Shadows are now available (on some chart types), albeit without blurring.</li>
179        <li>You must reference the Javascript libraries in the documents &lt;head&gt;.</li>
180        <li>You must use the window.onload event to create your chart.</li>
181        <li>If your page is large, there may be a slight pause before the window.onload event fires and thus creates the chart.</li>
182        <li>Changing the font that text is shown in is not available.</li>
183    </ul>
184   
185    <a name="frame"></a>
186    <h4>Google Chrome Frame</h4>
187        <p>
188            Instead of ExCanvas you can also use Google Chrome Frame. This basically turns Internet Explorer into Google Chrome, and fully
189            supports RGraph. Since it involves a plugin installation, this is a better option if you can fully influence the users PC. If you
190            can fully influence the users PC however, a better option might be to simply use one of the browsers with native
191            support.

199    <h4>Using a dynamically created canvas</h4>
200        <p>
201            If you're creating your canvas dynamically there is an extra step that you must perform to allow it to be recognised by
202            ExCanvas:
203        </p>
204       
205        <pre class="code">
206var canvas = document.createElement('CANVAS');
207    canvas.id = 'cvs';
208    canvas.width = 600;
209    canvas.height = 250;
210    canvas.style.border = '1px dashed black';
211document.body.appendChild(canvas);
212
213<span style="color: green">G_vmlCanvasManager.initElement(canvas);</span>
214</pre>
215

217   
218    <br />
219    <br />
220    <br />
221
222    <!-- This is the ModdalDialog -->
223    <div id="myDialog" style="display: none">
224        <div style="text-align: center; font-family: Arial">
225            <h4>Please wait...</h4>
226            <span style="font-size: 8pt">(Nothing is going to happen, this is simply an example <a href="" onclick="ModalDialog.Close(); return false">Close</a>)</span>
227        </div>
