[OpenLayers-Users] Browser not supported with Canvas renderer

[Rob Hyx]

Hello all,

I am having an issue in IE 8. I am using OP 2.11 with ExCanvas to
untilize Canvas tags in older browsers. I realize this is a long shot
as it's probably a hack, but I figure I'd at least ask: When I
construct my vector layer with the canvas renderer I get a
'browserNotSupported' alert box (not surprisingly). Later when I go to
add features to the map I get: this.renderer is null or not an object.

First question: Is there anyway to supress that alert that comes up?
Second question: Has anyone done this before and know how to get the
vectors to correctly render?

I assume since OpenLayers recognizes IE 8 as a browser that doesn't
support canvas it just flat out rejects the renderer, hence none is
present when the vectors are added to the map. I tried adding VML and
SVG as well but then I get other problems (Attribute is only valid on
v:image).

Thanks so much in advance!
