Oh, and svg was enabled all along. Do you guys have cairo built with the svg USE flag enabled? I think FF depends on that. I have "svg" in my global USE flags, FWIW.

Oh, and svg was enabled all along. After having success with every browser (but IE) on Windows, here's my test results with the same browsers on Linux: SeaMonkey 1.1.16 - all 3 worked Firefox - Embed and Iframe work, but Object does not Konqueror 4.2.4 - all 3 worked Opera 10 beta - Embed and Iframe work, but Object does not. I think the reason why Opera and FF do not work in "Object" mode is because the example on the w3schools website is wrong. They use the "codebase" attribute as the "download location for the plug-in" but the HTML specs say "This attribute specifies the base path used to resolve relative URIs specified by the classid, data, and archive attributes." So, in other words, FF and Opera are trying to load "http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/rect1.svg"; which does not exist, resulting in no blue rectangle. I'd be willing to bet both of these browsers would work with an Object-tag-embed SVG given a properly-formed example.

On the other hand the w3schools examples show fine in Linux. Thank you all for your help. -- Regards, Mick

Slight correction - the object tag did not work on Opera, but the other 2 techniques did work. Everything worked in every other browser (except IE, where nothing worked).
