HTML5 canvas 2D animation

This tests using the HTML5 canvas element to render animated 2D graphics.

Also check out this interactive canvas animation.

This animation uses only HTML+Javascript, no Flash or video plugin required. To see how this is done, open this page and view source.

Internet Explorer (IE) browsers do not support the canvas element. For IE, this page uses the Javascript library excanvas.js to emulate canvas support. Thus, the animation is slow and jerky in IE. It looks fine in recent versions of Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, all of which have built-in support for canvas.
