The lack of support in IE, and the fact that each implementation browser that supports SVG has different bugs and flaws that you have to work around, different code to load the SVG objects, etc. is why I cannot justify any more work in SVG for my projects. I want my implementations to be the

SVG is probably a dead duck. I have not wanted to invest any more work in it for more than a year. This is not to say that I dislike SVG much at all, but the Adobe plugin has a lot of problems, and SVG is nowhere near as universally available as Silverlight already is. I gave up when the new

My current phone has a web interface, but it is so tedious to use on the small screen and inadequate keyboard that it is hardly worth the bother and certainly not worth the surcharges on my bill. Until OLEDs make it possible to design an easily carried phone with a large-enough roll-out display, I

This is due to the Eolas patents. Even if you are an ardent M$ hater, you have to be on M$ side on this one, since after Eolas gets done with Microsoft, they intend to go after everyone else. The patents don't look like they are valid in the least since there was substantial prior art. But the

I was thinking the same thing, but you said it better. Marodobey are missing the point - Include SVG in flash and you compete with XAML through the flash player. Don't include it and XAML will take over in the business apps side. Geoffrey J. Swenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Non-text

My approach is that you send the data using Ajax, and build the svg on the client side. That way, you don't have to deal with the file size issue, and you automatically distribute the resources necessary to create the objects to the client computers. I use javascript for my own graphics with

Sharepoint has its own mind and is constantly correcting your code. I wouldn't be surprised if it is fixing what it thinks are errors in your tags, and then they don't work (duh). I don't have a Sharepoint server available to me at the moment to help you out, however. But I feel your pain.

Your post on this just sounds like you hope that Adobe will see the need to restart work on SVG, but in some way confirms that they have set it aside at the moment. I certainly didn't find the wishy-washy statements by the Adobe people here to be very encouraging at all. And the long-in-the-tooth

I do like the idea of multiple vendors, but I remain agnostic (and sometimes a bit leery) of Open Source. I'll use it if it works and it is properly documented. I won't use it when it doesn't work and/or is poorly documented. I would rather pay $500 for SQL Server and its easy-to-use interfaces

This is why I didn't even consider this for my app. I wanted something that scripted from the javascript, not inside another object like flash. The way SVG does it, it is blessedly easy to get the HTML and the graphics to interact in highly useful ways. Geoffrey J. Swenson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you need to upload the page to an existing web server on your intranet, or you need to setup IIS (Internet Information Services) on your own laptop (assuming you are running Windows). Your best bet for help on this is someone at your own company responsible for the intranet, or at least

If you want to convert a gif to SVG vector objects, then you are somewhat screwed. There are bitmap to vector conversion programs such as adobe Streamline and the Corel Trace (bundled with CorelDraw), but they don't work very well in large part. I also found this, by searching on google:
