The canvas tag was introduced by Apple and has been standardized to become part of HTML5.

A simple example page...

A example for color cycling with the canvas element [[1]]

Get the canvas tag:

c=document.getElementById("c")

Get the "context" (like a paper):

p=c.getContext("2d");

Draw something!

p.fillRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
