the default html wrapper is automatically given a background color  
the same as your canvas, so you are probably seeing that.

As I recall, you have to be careful how you embed your app, depending  
on whether you use <embed> or <object> your app won't get any cycles  
until the app is fully loaded.  You also have to take care that your  
html wrapper does not cause your browser to go into 'quirks mode'.   
That is usually the cause for IE's misbehavior.

Hey, isn't it pretty late out your way?
