<p><strong><a href="http://realtech.burningbird.net/graphics/googles-excanvas-only-works-in-quirks-mode-for-ie8/">Google&#x27;s excanvas only works in quirks mode for IE8</a></strong></p> IE8 in act-as-IE8 mode disables VML but doesn’t implement canvas, so there’s currently no 2D drawing method for that browser. UPDATE: The problem is Google’s excanvas library, not IE8 disabling VML; see comments. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/burningbird">burningbird</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/canvas">canvas</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/excanvas">excanvas</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ie8">ie8</a></p>
