Opera uses the algorithm specified for <canvas> everywhere. This means #rrggbb for when alpha is 1 and otherwise rgba(). Gecko uses different serialization algorithms. System colors and color keywords are preserved for e.g. the .style.color case but not for <canvas>. (The keywords are returned in lowercase, not in the case specified by the specification. I personally like this.) Also, instead of #rrggbb it uses rgb() for .style.color, though not for <canvas>. Gecko also uses a slightly different parser for <canvas> it seems. E.g. I found it accepts "red garbage" and treats that the same as "red" whereas .style.color will not. WebKit (I toyed with Chrome) seems to follow Gecko, though the <canvas> part was quite buggy (fillStyle accepts any string and just returns it?) and tests with system colors and .style.color failed. I played in the "Live DOM Viewer" with these bits of code by the way: <!DOCTYPE html> ...<script> var x =document.createElement("canvas").getContext("2d") x.fillStyle = "red garbage" w(x.fillStyle) </script> <!DOCTYPE html> ...<script> document.body.style.color = "#fff" w(document.body.style.color) </script> Any thoughts as to what direction we want this to go in? Personally I quite prefer the way Opera handles this, though preserving system colors might be valuable. Not sure. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
