The tutor continues about Microsoft’s VML with a demo.<\/h1>\n

To view the VML effect at the linked file below, you need to use an Internet Explorer browser.<\/i><\/p>\n

Last post<\/a> I opened the topic of VML. Today, I’ll offer a link you can follow to see some.<\/p>\n

Herein, ie=IE=Internet Explorer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The obvious question: if VML is not supported past ie9, how am I supposed to view the effects?<\/p>\n

Answer: People running ie8 or earlier (who likely are people still using XP) can view VML either straightaway or else by clicking “compatibility view” (the broken window icon in the navigation bar).<\/p>\n

Here’s the link: vml demo<\/a><\/p>\n

People running current ie can view VML effects this way:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Load the link. Likely, just a horizontal pink strip will show.<\/li>\n
  2. Press F12. A control panel will open up at the bottom of the screen.<\/li>\n
  3. Along the black top strip of the newly visible panel, look for an icon with two different sized screens. (On mine, it’s near the right.) It will tell the version of ie you’re currently using; mine says Edge<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Click that icon; a choice menu will drop down. To view the VML effects, select 7<\/strong> or 5<\/strong> (oddly, 8<\/strong> doesn’t seem to help).<\/li>\n
  5. The page should change, showing blue writing angled across the screen. It’s a VML effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’ll likely be discussing VML much more in future posts:)<\/p>\n
