Html5 canvas

[mbpowner]

is there a way to get safari to support this ?

Also can canvas elements have other enclosed tags?

e.g. <canvas>
<p>hi</p>
</canvas>

Like on a shape you draw you can put other html elements ?
Only issue is if the canvas isnt supported by the browser is it possiblg to still display the elements outside the canvas?

Nope... well, rather, you should not.
For more information read up on this: https://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/

You can place html elements on top of a canvas using CSS. Any html element (inside canvas) will be hidden if canvas is supported and visible if canvas is NOT supported.

PS I may be just confused as to what you really are trying to accomplish.

You can draw text on a canvas if that's what you're trying to do

<canvas> cannot have child elements. You draw on the canvas using an API built-in to the browser. Every modern browser supports <canvas>.

MDN is a good place to learn:
