title: Painting shapes in Javascript
body: <p>Is there any good alternative to the html5-element canvas to paint shapes like hexagons using javascript, that works cross-browser (including the horrible IE6)?</p>
  
  <p>I have been using jQuery and jQuery maphighlight for this, but it doesn't give me enough possibilities to manipulate the shapes and colors after it's first rendered.</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing some features in jQuery maphighlight, or are there any other plugin for either jQuery or mootools, that can provide me with this painting capabilities?</p>
