IE 8 Error: 'vml' is null or not an object

[cbobbett]

Hi All,

When I use the compressed version of Raphael 1.5.2, IE6-8 throws an
error: 'vml' is null or not an object. I have not tested IE9.

Everything works as expected when I switch to the uncompressed version
of 1.5.2. Something appears to have happened in the compression
process.

Regards,

Chris

Chris thats an interesting observation. I just discovered this in ie for 1.5.2 //Below does not work in IE .attr({stroke:"red"}); //Below DOES work in IE .attr({stroke:"#FF0000"}); The above applies to fills and gradients that make any reference to colours being spelt instead of using the hex/oct equivalent.

Yes, it is I think a bug which got into 1.5.2 minified version, the
uncompressed version does not have it, I minified it on my own using
YUI and deployed it and it works fine.

I did the same, and things now seem to be working fine in IE.
