A new version of excanvas has been released yesterday: It now supports IE8. Well, haven’t we – ahhm… Liquid Canvas – been waiting for this 😉
So this is what I did an hour ago: I copied the new version into my Liquid Canvas project and … surprise it didn’t work. After a short debugging session I spotted the problem.

Ah, right: it’s version 0.6 which has all these features. 🙂
Yeah well, it was raining… And I’ll be on holiday for quite some days from Tuesday on – without any computer. So this weekend was kind of the perfect time to hack a little bit on my neat little fun project ShadedBorder.
The result: after version 0.3 yesterday, today comes version 0.4. 😉 The new features:
The new version 0.3 of ShadedBorder supports gradient backgrounds:
