I've slogged my way through implementing excanvas on ie8. I've got the dynamic element bit sorted, the initially-hidden elements are now happily rendering throughout most of the app, and just when all seemed to be well I've hit another roadblock. The vml items rendered inside the div that excanvas generates are all offset by a large amount.
I only discovered what was happening by setting overflow:visible on all children of canvas, which caused the offset vml to become visible.
I've got a screenshot of the offending articles; the area in blue is the generated div in the correct position, and the items bordered in red should be within the blue area.
Has anyone encountered this before, and even better, been able to solve it?
Cheers!
