HTML5 Canvas
-
Hi, I have been thinking to write an article on HTML 5 canvas. I notice that CodeProject article web pages are HTML 4.01 which translates to mean I have to host my HTML 5 canvas animation on another website. Am I right? This posting is just to confirm this. Thanks!!

No. All it means is that people will have to download your code; which is the standard for articles anyway.

And is it not better to preview how the code plays before going for download? I think the OP is asking how to show preview live (other than attaching snapshots).

Surely if you're writing an article on the HTML5 Canvas you'd know enough to know that the doctype doesn't define if the canvas is available. Look closely at these forums. Notice as you hover over a message, the arrow on the left of each message? That's drawn on a canvas. However, I'm guessing your point is you want to provide a demo in your article. We don't allow javascript to be hosted live within articles for obvious security reasons, but a downloadable page is just as effective and useful to readers.

Hi Chris, I just want to provide the path of least resistance for the viewer to see the animation before reading the article; most readers have the habit of reading the article first, then download the demo. This takes surprise out if they read article before viewing canvas animation. However, I must say the rationale of not hosting live javascript in article, is sound and sensible. Thanks!

I have no more information about HTML 5...
