Code released into public domain
Since I have moved on to other projects, I hereby release the JavaScript code (http://canvaspaint.org/paint.js) into the wild: If this code, messy as it is, is of any use to you, feel free to take it.
This expressly does not include images, cursors or any other intellectual property, the rights to which I do not own myself.

Very cool! I’ve been working on an online vector editing program for over a year now, and remember that when I started, CanvasPaint.org was one of my main inspirations :)
Good luck with Soup.io

Hey can you make canvaspaint.org work with IE if the Novell XForms plugin is installed? It also adds tag support to IE, as you must be knowing already.

I get a dirty fix for firefox 3
in the css: add background color
#titlebar {
top:0px;
height:17px;
width:100%;
background-color:#093B6E;
}
in the javascript: delete the following
gradientcanvas = document.getElementById(’gradient’);
if(gradientcanvas.getContext){
var g = gradientcanvas.getContext(’2d’);
grad = g.createLinearGradient(0, 0, 200, 15);
grad.addColorStop(0, ‘#036′);
grad.addColorStop(1, ‘#ACF’);
g.fillStyle = grad;
g.fillRect(0, 0, 300, 17);
}
we lost the gradient in the title bar but render correctly in firefox 3

[...] it well. There is a very nice mock up of windows paint program that demos what is possible. The source code is available too. A quick try in different browsers shows some dramatic differences [...]

Thank you so much - it gave me an idea what to look for, for my c# homework.

I have tried the other canvas tag paint applications and they work for IE7. Does anybody know if this canvas paint application works for IE7? Meaning, if I delete the code that checks for IE, then this will work. Or should I just modify the other one to handle saves and loading.
This is for an application for my class, and the professor is not on board with excluding IE (I am not either!).

online annotation…
I would be great to have an online annotation program where someone can post a draft of a paper and others can annotate it right there in the browser. I know there are commercial sites that do this but an open-source solution would be better. Read…
