Is Protovis supposed to work on IE 7, 8, and 9 like RaphaelJS does?

Question

I thought Protovis might work on IE 7 and 8, or at least on IE 9... but to my surprise, I tried it on all 3 and it doesn\'t work on any (for those example pages... is it a tempo

Answer 1

Protovis requires SVG and IE 6 - 8 do not support SVG. IE 9 does support SVG, so Protovis should work fine on IE 9.

In order to work on IE 6-8 it is necessary for the user to install ChromeFrame, which will install the Chrome rendering ending into IE.
