Hello

I am trying to find a way for drawing shapes on a web page.
(specially rectangles)
But i don't want to use <div> or <span> tags for this.
Because i want to use my rects in table rows.If i use these tags problems occur in FF or IE.
I expressed my problem in Javascript Forum because i think this problem can be overcomed with Javascript.
As i say i try to use <div> or <span> tags and absolute positioning but i met with problems genarally in FF.So i don't want to use them.

Is there any OTHER method for this problem???
If you help me i will be pleased.

Thank You...:)

Without more information about what you're doing, I assume you're looking for SVG, which unfortuanately only works with the latest browsers; Firefox 1.5, Opera 9, Safari 2. Support in these browsers is also preliminary, and may not quite be up to snuff for production usage of this new technology.

IE does not support the SVG standard. Alternatively, in Explorer, there is the proprietary VML feature.

http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/a...ml/default.asp

Then there is also the <canvas> element, which is part of the WHATWG HTML 5.0 specification.

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps...k/#scs-dynamic

I can't recall which browsers support that, but think it is Firefox 1.5, Safari 2, and Opera 9, again no support in Explorer.

Then again, there may be a simpler solution for your problem using plain CSS and markup, but it's difficult to ascertain what you're going for from the description you've provided.

Regards,
Rich

Let me explain it as i can;

I try to develop a tree component that already exits.This tree works like this:(shortly)
---------------------------------------------------
|img1 (open or close)|checkbox|img2(image)|title|NEW AREA|
    ---------------------------------------------------
    |img1 (open or close)|checkbox|img2(image)|title|NEW AREA|
    ----------------------------------------------------------
.... and so on

NEW AREA:I want to add here a graphical area.(a rectangle)
I try this with <div> and <span> tags but problems occured.
I give absolute positioning in these tags but i never achieved what i want in both FF and IE.

I do not post the code,because adding this area is just a module in the tree script so it will not be understandable.

But if you want i can explain it like this:In the function for each itemObject a row is inserted to the table.And each column in the row stores the variables above.
itemobject-- <TR>
             <TD>img1
             <TD>checkbox
.... and so
              </TR> itemobject finished

I try to add my graphical area to a new column in the row.And as i say i use <div> or <span>.

I just try to find the way that is possible for this so i do not waste time with impossible ways.
The possible way that gives the same result both in FF and IE.

Thank You Very Much Again...
