Capture Signature using HTML5 and iPad

Question

Anyone know how this can be done? Would you use a canvas object, svg, jQuery, etc?

Answer 1

Perhaps the best two browser techs for this are Canvas, with Flash as a back up.

We tried VML on IE as backup for Canvas, but it was much slower than Flash. SVG was slower then all the rest.

With jSignature ( http://willowsystems.github.com/jSignature/ ) we used Canvas as primary, with fallback to Flash-based Canvas emulator (FlashCanvas) for IE8 and less. Id' say worked very well for us.
