Re: Should I use HTML5 canvas just to create my own slideshow reader ?

there are multiple options available apart from HTML5 canvas. 

1. RapahelGWT (this is an extension of Raphael JS for GWT), using this images would be rendered as SVG. And raphael works with lower versions of ie as well http://code.google.com/p/raphaelgwt/

2. you can also look at a SlidingPanel (example of this is provided in expense tutorial), and customize it to load your images.

3. vectomatic (gwt project available), an svg & html5 canvas plugin for GWT.  http://code.google.com/p/vectomatic/

svg is supposed to be more suited for static images and interactivity. HTML5 canvas when there is lots of animation/ computations involved. 

the following video link provides a good introduction to html5 and showcases differences between svg and canvas

Hello,

I am trying to develop my own slideshow reader (you just see the albums fotos in the full screen mode and slide them).

I started using HTML5 canvas but just because it was more "modern" but IE8 does not support HTML5 canvas. So my question is :  "Should I use HTML5 canvas to do my slideshow (I will need a caroussel and animation between images) ?" Could you argue your answer (because maybe HTML5 canvas are more interesting to do more complicated things) ?

Thanks you,
