 * Seem like there is an issue when using the seconds hand in explorer 9 and 10.
   The Seconds hand starts wrapping around the clock. No issue with firefox, chrome
   or safari. Really like it otherwise. Can you fix. thanks dave

 * Hi effsol,
 * Thanks for reporting 🙂
 * The coolclock javascript is done by Simon Baird and any issues related to the
   script itself should be reported on [https://github.com/simonbaird/CoolClock/issues](https://github.com/simonbaird/CoolClock/issues)
 * Please mention the script version number when reporting any issues. All plugin
   versions below 2.9 use script version 2.1.4, the latest plugin uses script version
   3.0.0-pre
 * However, before doing so, you might want to upgrade the plugin to version 2.9
   and if the issue remains, try the following:
 * Go to your WP admin page Plugins > Editor and select the CoolClock plugin. Find
   in the file coolclock.php the following lines, not far from the end of the file:
 *     ```
       }
   
       		echo '<!--[if lt IE 9]>';
       		wp_print_scripts( 'excanvas' );
       		echo '<![endif]-->
       ';
   
       	}
   
       }
       ```
   
 * Now remove both `<!--[if lt IE 9]>` and `<![endif]-->` so it will look like:
 *     ```
       }
   
       		echo '';
       		wp_print_scripts( 'excanvas' );
       		echo '
       ';
   
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * Then hit Update File and let me know if that changes anything. 🙂

 * Or better (since I do not have IE) could you visit [http://demo.status301.net](http://demo.status301.net)
   and tell me if any of the test clocks is showing this second hand wrapping effect
   in IE9/10 ?
 * Thanks!

 * RavanH,
 * Tested 2.9. Still have the same issue with the seconds hand. Tried your demo 
   link and had the same problem there also I can send you images if your want. 
   Works great on IPAD. Would really like to use on PC also. Hopefully you can help.
 * thanks

 * Hi Dave,
 * The problem is that I do not have Internet Explorer to test with. I know it needs
   some extra script for full HTML5 Canvas support which is why I included excanvas.
   js in the plugin. However, there is some confusion about what version is the ‘
   latest and greatest’ and even then, development seems to be kind of at a stand
   still since March 2009. There is a newer version from November 2009 available
   on [http://code.google.com/p/explorercanvas/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fsilverlight](http://code.google.com/p/explorercanvas/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fsilverlight)
   but after that, nothing…
 * I’ll have to search for alternatives (if any) or do some more testing with different
   versions of the excanvas script. But like I said, I do not have IE other than
   IE 8 on an old XP machine.

 * Hmmm… as far as I can figure out, IE 9 and 10 should support Canvas natively.
   So testing with scripts to extend IE with Canvas support will not make any difference.
 * The only way will be to report the issue on [https://github.com/simonbaird/CoolClock/issues/new](https://github.com/simonbaird/CoolClock/issues/new)
   complete with a quick description, a link and maybe a screenshot. Could you do
   that? If not, please send all your info via the form on [http://status301.net/contact-en/](http://status301.net/contact-en/)(
   I’ll reply and you can then send me a screenshot) so I can relay that info to
   the script developer.
 * Cheers,
    Allard

 * See screenshot link. Also you can see it on my website live at [http://www.dev.esiserver.net](http://www.dev.esiserver.net)

 * Again, the issue is only with IE9 and IE10. I run WIn 7 and Win 8 and have the
   same issue with both. No prob with Firefox, Chrome and Safarri. Ipad and Samsung
   Galaxy also work fine.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Could you make another screenshot of the three clocks on [http://demo.status301.net/another-post-with-everything-in-it/](http://demo.status301.net/another-post-with-everything-in-it/)
   for me?
 * I’ll report the issue to the script dev if I have some more info on how these
   look in IE 9/10 …

 * I opened a ticket on the issue as reported on [https://github.com/simonbaird/CoolClock/issues/11](https://github.com/simonbaird/CoolClock/issues/11)
   about this issue. Let’s hope the dev(s) can fix it.
 * Until then, Skins that do not use an outside ring like Classic or SecurePHP seem
   to work better… But I do see some weird moving block behind the second hand in
   IE8.
 * If you want, you can use this minimal custom skin:
 *     ```
       hourHand:{lineWidth:5,startAt:-15,endAt:50,color:"black",alpha:1},
       minuteHand:{lineWidth:3,startAt:-15,endAt:65,color:"black",alpha:1},
       secondHand:{lineWidth:1,startAt:-20,endAt:75,color:"red",alpha:1},
       secondDecoration:{lineWidth:1,startAt:0,radius:4,fillColor:"red",color:"red",alpha:1}
       ```
   
 * which does not seem to suffer any side effects…

 * Update to version 2.9.2 and the issue should be worked out by not showing any
   outer border in IE. Not a real fix but the best I can do with these canvas limitations
   in IE…
