Internet Explorer support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Canviz doesn't work so well in Internet Explorer right now. Last I heard, in IE 
6 and 7, you get the 
graph drawn, but no text overlays; and in IE 8, you get the text but no graph.

See if it helps to update from ExplorerCanvas 0001 to 0002 (it's already been 
imported into 
/vendor/excanvas in the repository).

It's possible MooCanvas may work better than ExplorerCanvas. However MooCanvas 
requires 
MooTools, and Canviz already uses Prototype. I'm not sure how MooTools and 
Prototype compare, 
or if they would interfere with one another.

As of r168, the canvas element is dynamically created, which IE doesn't like. 
Should
be fixable; see:

r235: In the example, the "Loading" box and the graph form are now correctly
positioned and sized in IE6. Workaround for IE6's lack of support for 
"position: fixed".

Since IE 6 and 7 are largely working, this ticket can be closed. I'll file new
tickets for remaining specific issues (like issue #38 for the IE 8 beta 2 
issue).
Search for tickets using the label "Browser-IE" to find any other IE tickets.
