[HTML5] Canvas

[doekman at gmail.com]

Interesting. I actually tried to layer absolute positioned div nodes
above the canvas, than measuring them (offsetWidth and so), and than
drawing shapes:

But I didn't succeed in mapping html's px to the unit in canvas. Do
you have tips?

Thanks,
Doeke Zanstra
