Cool! Another tool to blame for wasting time when I should be creating stuff!

Did you know that 82% of people will find this tool annoying 'cause it *won't* work in IE?
Seems to be just like what folks complain about IE for.
Anyone know if it'll work in IE 7? There is just a little script at the bottom of the page to comment out but I don't have IE 7 on my laptop here to look at it.

As people are always telling me it's a case of knowing your audience. This tool is aimed at website designers - I can't imagine that anyone calling themselves a professional website designer wouldn't have Firefox or Opera on their system.
And as we know, unfortunately there's clever stuff that you just can't do on IE6 plus from my limited knowledge of the subject IE and Gecko browsers use the DOM differently - so it would seem reasonable, given the audience of the site to give people the enhanced capabilities.
The site utilises Canvas which I don't think (at least originally) IE was able to cope with.
I have no problem with people making their own sites work only in X browser when it's not a site aimed at a wide general audience - it's their decision and they take the risk if they plan on making money from it. Building a widely aimed public site for a client that only works in a few browsers is silly. There's a difference.
I don't think it would work on IE7 as there's a blanket - if MSIE then "scr*w you" bit of Javascript in there.

I saw that too but grabbed the script and the .css and .js files and tried removing it (the 'deny' script) and no it didn't work then either. I was just curious as if IE 7 worked, 'cause the deny script didn't specify any versions, just IE.

I'm really on the edge of my knowledge but I think that IE deals with the DOM differently and therefore I think that to use Canvas properly you need a plugin for IE.
