This is an odd example, IMO - http://canui.sourceforge.net/canui/canui.js is a huge amount of code that: Textbox, Tooltip, Buttons, Combobox, Image, Label, Link - recreates built-in (input) elements. List, Menu, Progress, Dialog - is easily done with divs; there are multiple libraries that do this already. The example controls won't work well on mobile devices. They add no new functionality to the existing set of input elements / libraries. I can see developers using canvas where they get new functionality not possible today. I don't think any serious web developer will spend time / add risk to their project to get (16 year old!) Windows 95 styling. If there really is a developer/company with a need for Win95 styling in their UI, they are much better off making a regular web page with regular <input> elements, and then buying Windows 7 and configuring it to use the 'Windows Classic' theme. :) Thanks Frank From: public-canvas-api-request@w3.org [mailto:public-canvas-api-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Richard Schwerdtfeger Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 6:35 AM To: Cynthia Shelly Cc: public-canvas-api@w3.org; public-html-a11y@w3.org Subject: canvas example Cynthia, You had asked me for more examples of how canvas was used for application development. Here is something from source forge. Looks like Windows 95. http://canui.sourceforge.net/examples/index.html There will be more like this to come. Pandora's box is open.
