Gauge in IE

[NikVdW]

Hi group,

I've been trying to get gauge visualizations to work in IE. They don't
seem to work in IE8, so I've forced IE7 compatibility mode. This way,
the gauge demos work fine (at http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/closure/goog/demos/gauge.html).

However, I can't get them to work on my site (which is fine in Safari,
FF, ...). Is there any trickery going on at the gauge demo site that I
may not be aware of? I've inspected the DOM and I don't see anything
special so far...

Any help is greatly appreciated! This last visualization is keeping my
site from fully working in IE... ;)

thanks,
kind regards,
Nik.

Dear group,

I've managed to trace this down to my usage of excanvas, which I need
to run flot (jquery graphing lib).

It seems that excanvas breaks the vml rendering for graphics in IE.
I've tried hacking the graphics package to make use of the canvas in
IE, and then initialize excanvas on the dynamically created gauges,
but that doesn't seem to work well (text is rendered, but nothing
else).

I know this is off-topic for the group, but if someone has any
knowledge on this to share, I'd love to hear it!

thanks,
Nik.
