CanvasPaint was mentioned on Coding Horror the other day, in a quote of a Bruce Eckel article. Only he removed the link when he quoted that part. Boo hoo.
“…Someone did an imitation of the much simpler Microsoft Paint using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Very impressive, but you get the sense that this is close to the limit of what those technologies can do”

Ah, to be on the bleeding edge yet again!
;-)
Paint, in a web page … whudda thunk it huh huh that’s really sweet!
But I got a “Your browswer doesn’t support flood fill” alert … FF1.5.0.11 … and I got a couple of similar errors at the WHATWG demo page. I haven’t had this much fun in a long while!
stay well

First things first, download Firefox 2 - you’re out of date.
Auto-updater won’t upgrade you, just apply the 1.5 patches.
Re: FF and flood-fill. He discusses that a few posts down.
I asked if the wouldn’t mind posting the algorithm he used for implementing FF flood fill. Hopefully he catches this one.
Just want to see if it can’t be optimised a bit. Seems a getPixel method wouldn’t be necessary with FF’s ability to request image chunks. Could request row/column slices, possibly even entire image would not be memory prohibitive.
