No, it most definitely is *not*.  The EWB IDE includes a TWebBrowser-like
component that uses IE for *browsing*, but the EWB Web Server has nothing to
do with IE at all.

Your problem was that IE8 was installed on your machine, and IE8 does not
support canvas operations, even if the HTML5 compiler option is turned on.
EWB cannot make browsers support features that they don't support, it can
only surface what is already available.

Ok. I updated IE8 to IE9, before I rode your last message, and things seemed to work better.

But I have the same error sometime. "Sometime" mean, for example, as I write this message I see my EWB actual project where I can't put a new Tpaint control without having a new HTML5 error message ("your browser doesn't support HTML5"). This project ***compile without the new Tpaint control and it has a Tpanel and a Timage on its Form ! So HTML5 works with a Tpanel and a Timage, but a new Tpaint's not accepted !

HELP I'm TURNING MAD !

TPanel doesn't require HTML5, but TPaint does ... dear Watson ...

E.B.,

Yes, only TPaint requires the IE HTML5 option turned on.  Hopefully one of
these days I can just kill that option and only support IE9 or higher.

I'll be including a new slide show project with the next EWB release, and it
will show some of the cool things you can do with the TPaint control in
terms of fading/effects, and will also include a new HTML5 audio control.
