In Internet Explorer, VML is embedded in HTML documents. You start by declaring this namespace, v : <HTML xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"> . . . You must also instantiate the VML engine, which is implemented as an Internet Explorer behavior. To implement this behavior, you use a <STYLE> element, connecting the v namespace to the VML default behavior: <HTML xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"> <HEAD> <TITLE> Using Vector Markup Language </TITLE> <STYLE> v\:* {behavior: url(#default#VML);} </STYLE> </HEAD> . . . This indicates to Internet Explorer that the VML in the page should be handled by the VML engine. Now you can add VML elements such as <oval> if you use the proper namespace, v : <HTML xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"> <HEAD> <TITLE> Using Vector Markup Language </TITLE> <STYLE> v\:* {behavior: url(#default#VML);} </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <CENTER> <H1> Using Vector Markup Language </H1> </CENTER> <P> <v:oval STYLE='width:100pt; height:75pt' fillcolor="yellow" /> <P> <v:rect STYLE='width:100pt; height:75pt' fillcolor="blue" strokecolor="red" STROKEWEIGHT="2pt"/> <P> <v:polyline POINTS="20pt,55pt,100pt,-10pt,180pt,65pt,260pt,25pt" strokecolor="red" STROKEWEIGHT="2pt"/> </BODY> </HTML> I'll take a look at what VML elements are available now. |
