Except that there is a slight difference between a declarative element and a programmatic one. SVG being declarative, it has an actual DOM tree with elements and attributes that can be affected using CSS. The Canvas element itself can be styled with CSS ( borders, size, outlines, background, ... ) but what is done in the CanvasContext does not end up in the DOM tree and therefore their styling can not be affected using CSS. -- Mathieu 'p01' HENRI JavaScript developer, Opera Software ASA
