How does it work?

The plug-in is a implementation of XForms using element behaviors. When you install the plug-in it “knows” all the XForms elements and does XForms processing. In the newest version I have additionally implemented the canvas element which is also just an element behavior. It exposes the javascript API just as Deer Park does it. So the same xhtml file should work the same in Deer Park as in IE with the plug-in installed.
