If you are also using a <canvas> -element (as in the post you referenced), you can try using ExplorerCanvas , which brings canvas-functionality to old Internet Explorer version (make sure to use conditional tags for loading).

Another possibility, as Teemu mentioned, is using VML. I haven't found any script to convert canvas to VML, but I did manage to find this: svg2vml . I guess there should also be variants of this that work with canvas.
