AJAX Drawing Board?

[ahmedtheking]

Is there a script anyone knows of that mimics a piece of paper and allows you to doodle over it? If not, anyone think of components out there that I can use to code it myself?

My only experience has been with Flash based solutions -- I've not yet seen a Javascript based approach.

neat idea, an AJAX drawing board has appeal...

Google for "javascript drawing" for examples.

Opera, Firefox and Safari support the <canvas> element. Read more about it here [developer.mozilla.org].

This SourceForge project [sourceforge.net] claims to bring <canvas> support to Internet Explorer.

Not a simple script, or 'component', but you might be able to gain some inspiration from Virtual-WhiteBoard.co.uk (written using AJAX, works on IE6, FF and Opera) - it was mentioned in .net mag some months back following an AJAX tutorial.

I can't see that it allows you to draw completely freehand, but you can draw lines, boxes, circles, arrows, text and loads of other stuff - in a multi user environment - very good!
