How can I draw a line?

[Guest_imported]

Hello,

I want to specify two points to draw a line in my page, how can I do that using HTML-Javascript???
Thanks for any answer

The only way to do that is to use Javascript in conjuction with either VML or Java. Javascript itself has no direct access to graphics rendering, so you have to use it to 'talk' to a graphics program.

I know it's possible to use VML with IE5+ (see

http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie,

click on "HTML, DHTML, Scripting", then see VML in the resulting left-hand menu), and I believe Netscape 6 has an add-on VML renderer also, although I haven't experimented with it.

There are quite a few Java applets for simple line drawing, and many Java applets are compiled with support for a Javascript interface.

might be able to use Structured Vector Graphics:
