title: Is there a way to get pixel data from Internet Explorer?
body: <p>Excanvas.js allows IE to work with the canvas tag, but the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/google-excanvas/browse_thread/thread/7d35fa72dbe1487b" rel="noreferrer">getImageData method is not supported.</a></p>
  
  <p>Is there any way at all to get the value of a specified pixel in IE (img or VML or whatever other ways bitmaps from a server can be displayed in IE)? I'm assuming there's not.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to get rid of a server hit to improve responsiveness of an Ajax app, but I might only be able to do it for FF, Chrome, Opera, and Safari if there's no way to coax the info out of IE.</p>
