In the following code sample I am using an image that is drawn onto the HTML5-canvas element. However, when testing this in Chrome it does not immediately center the image. IE doesn’t have a problem with this (using IE9). When you select one of the elements in the DOM using the developer window in Chrome, somehow it THEN suddenly centers!!! Its hard to debug since you can’t see what’s changing what:

    I fixed this problem as follows. Using Chrome Canary I was able to click the DOM-canvas-elements without the elements repositioning themselves (this seemed like a bug in Chrome). The last canvas-element added was not positioned css-position “relative”. Doing this made sure the selections that I drew on top of the canvas became centered and thus the whole “canvas”-element (using KineticJS). I needed to use jQuery to set the css-position-property dynamically, like so: 

    $("#myContainerId canvas:last").css( "position", "relative" );
