I started using html5 canvas object on my web site and I want to draw rectangles (or other shapes according to my application) on the canvas. I can write text on the rectangles using the context object.
What I am trying to do is that I want to put a div element in the rectangle. So I can semantically work with my objects on the canvas like put a paragraph and a border inside the rectangle etc., storing some trivial data in the objects. Is that possible?
Nothing goes inside the
canvastag except for elements that would be displayed if the browser doesn’t support HTML5 and canvas. If you want to display regular HTML elements in a DIV, you could simply position it absolutely so that it floats above the canvas:Hopefully this helps.
