Gages do not work in IE

[vanboom]

The google gages do not work in IE 8. They work in Opera, but not IE
8. Has anyone discovered a fix?

It is because the gauges use SVG which are not supported in versions
of IE earlier than IE9. Adobe provides an SVG viewer for older
versions of IE:

It is possible only to display it when this code is added to demos/
gauge.html.
However, it seems that this is not a correct method.

if (goog.graphics.VmlGraphics.IE8_MODE_) {
// If you want to use for other tag, add it here.
var useVmlTagNames = ['group', 'shape', 'fill', 'oval', 'path',
'textpath'];

// ref. goog.graphics.VmlGraphics.prototype.createDom
// ref. http://www.lrbabe.com/?p=104
// ref. http://ajaxian.com/archives/the-vml-changes-in-ie-8
var doc = document;
doc.namespaces.add(goog.graphics.VmlGraphics.VML_PREFIX_,
goog.graphics.VmlGraphics.VML_NS_);
var ss = doc.createStyleSheet();
ss.cssText = goog.array.map(useVmlTagNames, function(tag) {
return goog.graphics.VmlGraphics.VML_PREFIX_ + '\\:' + tag;
}).join(',') + '{behavior:url(#default#VML)}';
