<h2 id="ie">Internet Explorer Compatibility</h2>

<p>The dygraphs library relies heavily on the HTML5 <code>&lt;canvas&gt;</code> tag, which Microsoft Internet Explorer did not traditionally support. To use Microsoft's native canvas implementation in IE9, you need to set an HTML5 doctype on your page:</p>

<pre>
&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
</pre>

<p>When IE9 is in HTML5 mode, dygraphs works just like in other modern browsers.</p>

<p>If you need to support older versions of IE, which do not have native
    <code>&lt;canvas&gt;</code> implementations, you'll need to use the <a
      href="/1.1.0/download.html">1.x series of dygraphs</a> and follow <a
        href="/1.1.0/ie.html">its instructions for IE</a>.
