Unless someone can show me how to use it I am giving up on VML.
Problems
1) I cannot work out how to detect whether it is present.
I tried some VB IsObject( CreateObject( ...)) but that did not work.
2) I cannot seem to get it to draw properly
cannot draw a circle(oval) crossed by a line to two.
Any help welcome,

You dnt have to - it is presented by default. VML over ActiveX was on
the testing stage for IE 4, you can happily forget of it. If it's IE -
then you have native VML support

Just place the line yourself wherever you want. Overall I do not
understand why are you refusing to google for and to read VML and SVG
references? The things do not have to be found in starvations by
yourself, just read the manual.

I have came across a friends machine that does not support it.

AND now in JavaScript ?

I have read both W3C and MS'es documentation.
MS seems not to follow W3C documentation AFAICT.

They appear as separate elements not as one. As if they were in two separate
DIV's.
Also why the style rather than the position attribute as in W3C
documentation ?

Because they *are* two separate elements.
As if they were in two separate DIV's.
span elements maybe, div tags - unless told otherwise - fill an entire line.
Use CSS to "stack" them:
<v:oval coordsize="21600,21600"
style='width:156pt;height:156pt;position:absolute; top:0px;left:0px'>
</v:oval>
<v:line style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px"
coordsize="21600,21600" from="0pt,0pt" to="156pt,156pt">
</v:line>

Thats crazy if you look at the W3C spec.
And how do you put them in a <groupelement without them disappearing ?
Aaron
I just cannot seem to get the following to work :-
<html xmlns:vml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
<head>
<style>
vml\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML) }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<vml:group coordsize="1000,1000" coordorigin="0, 0">
<vml:oval style="width:500; height:500" position="500, 500" size="450,
450" />
<vml:line from="0, 0" to="500, 500" />
</vml:group>
</body>
</html>
Totally stumped...

Okay add a 'style' statement. This is horrible !

then you have native VML support
I have came across a friends machine that does not support it.
Tell your friend to reinstall immediately - the machine is badly broken
or (s)he's using very obsolete IE version wide open for all
vulnerabilities found in IE over the last 6 years.

Think! Learn! Then think again! ;-) :-|
SVL is not Prototype/Scriptaculous crap linking: you have to _think_
and be ready to work over differences in SVG and VML. It also presume a
good understanding of the involved entities: finit viewport, infinit
Descartes space, their relations, geometrical shape vs. physical body.
Briefly if you wanted to surprise your girl by the next week-end you've
chosen a wrong matter to deal with ;-) :-|
As an inside info: VML is noticeable more powerful and _much_ more easy
to script than SVG. You cannot do it with VML - you have little chances
with SVG.
<http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/editor.htmis not an ideal
sample to copy - not at all, it is just a proof of concept that behind
the knowledge you'll obtain the things will be much more easy than they
are right now.

I did my SVG example in about 1/2 an hour.
SVG is much much nice that VML particularly MS'es VML.
Anyway I am getting there but there are so many oddities, styles used
instead of attributes in the MS version which is just horrible.

opacity and fill=false do not seem to work I cannot seem to get a see

Still none the wiser as to why that did not work.
2) I cannot seem to get it to draw properly

Here's where I am with a JavaScripted DOM version :- http://www.aarongray.org/Test/VML/VML-DOM.html
Again still non the wiser as to why the line will not display and as to why
I cannot get transparent circles ?
Many thanks if you can help, dont be bothered if you cannot,
Aaron

Okay lines working now. 'toString()' does not convert numbers to numeric
strings !
I still cannot get transparent circles ? Even with 'fill=false' and
'opacity=0' !
Any help welcome,
Aaron
>'toString()' does not convert numbers to numeric strings !
Especially if I pass the input as a paramenter rather than as the object,
he, he, Arg.
