如果要使用HTML5画布来绘制形状，文本和曲线，并且还希望附加传统的DOM事件（如onClick或拖放功能），则使用交叉开关框架Raphael进行拖放或触摸事件。
这项技术将SVG和XML用于IE的较早版本。使用HTML进行拖放如下所示。
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang = "en">

<meta charset = "utf-8">

<script>
window.onload = function () {
var R = Raphael(0, 0, "100%", "100%"),
r = R.circle(100, 100, 50).attr({fill: "hsb(0, 1, 1)", stroke: "none", opacity: .5}),
g = R.circle(210, 100, 50).attr({fill: "hsb(.3, 1, 1)", stroke: "none", opacity: .5}),
b = R.circle(320, 100, 50).attr({fill: "hsb(.6, 1, 1)", stroke: "none", opacity: .5}),
p = R.circle(430, 100, 50).attr({fill: "hsb(.8, 1, 1)", stroke: "none", opacity: .5});
var start = function () {
this.ox = this.attr("cx");
this.oy = this.attr("cy");
this.animate({r: 70, opacity: .25}, 500, ">");
},
move = function (dx, dy) {
this.attr({cx: this.ox + dx, cy: this.oy + dy});
},
up = function () {
this.animate({r: 50, opacity: .5}, 500, ">");
};
R.set(r, g, b, p).drag(move, start, up);
};
