Emil Eklund, a talented programmer has decided to try and bring a recent Web 1.0 Application to Internet Explorer. Since it’s early adoption by Apple, followed by Firefox and Safari, Internet Explorer remained out in the cold therefore braking Canvas’ path to enter mainstream.
What is Canvas? It’s a tag that let’s you create an area in which you can paint 2D graphics using JavaScript code.
What Eklund did was basically try to emulate SVG using the old and similar VML language supported in Internet Explorer 5.0 and newer versions.

You can see the result for yourself, and it’s great and a near perfect match. If this project develops further, we can perhaps see in a not very distant future the first true web image editing tools. Who knows, we might even live to see the day when we can access a web Photoshop and work from wherever we are.
