Opera can pass the <a href="http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html#top" rel="nofollow">ACID2</a> test, while FF and Moz fail it miserably. So they must have different rendering engines under the hood. Actually, I don’t think Opera is gecko based either.

It seems I misread <a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Canvas_tutorial" rel="nofollow">the line in the Canvas tutorial</a>. I mixed it up because it talks about how Apple first introduced it for the OSX dashboard then put it in Safari, <strong>and</strong> it was also adopted by Gecko 1.8 browsers. My bad. I'll go fix it now. :-) Nathan: You’re right, I thought it sounded odd. It seems I misread the line in the Canvas tutorial.

That's what got me interested in Canvas in the first place, though I hadn't caught his use of the "Google workaround for IE". I'll have to look into that. :-) Luke: Yeah, I’d seen it before.
