Question

i try to serialize raphael’s canvas to send it via form and get a png file.
in my section i have:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/jquery-1.6.4.js"></script> 
 <script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/raphael.js"></script> 
 <script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/raphael.serialize.js"></script> 

and in window.onload = function () { … i do some drawings, then i have some that i use as a buttons, but when i try to get a serialized value of raphael’s canvas i get empty array.

$('#btnEmail').click(function() {
    $("input#jsonsvg").val(paper.serialize.json());
     });

what’s wrong with this code?
try to go to http://alfen.linuxpl.info/konf/foundation/index_2.html and click on a ‘Wyslij email’3rd blue button from the left that shoud fire up an event to paper.serialize()

i appreaciate any help. thanks

Answer 1

It’s likely to be a problem with Raphael V2.0. The author has removed namespace functionality and it’s caused a lot of plugins that worked with the previous version to now break. Do you get any JS errors?

My advice is to create your own serialize function.
