Browser Support

The latest versions of Safari, Firefox, Opera, or Chrome all support the canvas element. Internet Explorer doesn't. If you are reading this using Internet Explorer you are probably in the wrong place anyway.

Why is this good?

• It is made using open standards
• You can view the source
• Because it uses open standards machines and people will be able to easily read and understand it.
