Unknown runtime error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. You have a div in a document
2. Do this after document is loaded:
div.innerHTML = "<canvas id='c' width='100' height='100'></canvas>"
3. Initialize the canvas with id 'c' like so 
c = G_vmlCanvasManager.initElement(c);
You'll get a "Unknown runtime error".

PS: If I create the canvas with createElement and append it to the div,
everything works fine. This happends on version 3. On version 2 the same
approach works all the time.

The Wiki Instructions discuss this Unknown runtime error, with several suggested
solutions.

(Also related to issue 59.)

Well the only suggested solution from twiki is in comments: not to inject canvas
elements in div elements with innerHTML but to use standard dom methods. Still 
that
excludes using ajax, cause usually an ajax call can return a chunk of html, and 
in
this case if that html contains canvases they're unusable. Since v2 used to 
work just
fine in this case, probably v3 should do the same...

I'm facing the same issue -- trying to initialize a <canvas> element defined in 
an
AJAX-loaded HTML chunk. It's not working in IE (I get the dreaded "Unknown 
Runtime
Error"), but working fine everywhere else.

Were you able to come up with a workaround?
