Q: 

Explorer canvas drawImage doesn't show anything.

I'm trying to use the explorer canvas project to get HTML5 canvas like functionality in IE. I'm using the latest v3 release. The problem I have is that the html it renders encloses the VML in a div which looks like the following.

<div style="position: absolute; width: 0px; height: 0px; overflow: hidden">
   ...VML
</div>

This causes the rendered VML not to be displayed. Why I edit the html inline using IE developer tools and remove the width, height and overflow I can see the element fine. Does anyone know how to get around this without editing the source?
