Tell them to stop using that piece of junk browser and start using something more secure and standards compliant, eg Firefox, Safari, Opera. Any of those is better than IE - by a long shot, and all render SVG (though supported features may vary from one to another). Guy On 31/12/2008, at 1

By the way, it might interest all to know that based on recent stats for our web app, IE (all versions) has only 55% of the browser market these days. A few years back it had 85%. I quote this because many people, it seems to me, are stuck on the idea that IE hold an unassailable position a

I agree with Robert...I think your statements are a little intemperate, and I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next man. In reality, Firefox had SVG support before Safari and Chrome. All 4 browsers-other-than-IE have decent SVG support now, and it's still improving with each release

There's a JS called Easel you might like to look at. I had exactly the same questions. It looks to me like Easel is trying to make Canvas have the same capabilities as SVG. Why? I think, as you suggest, any browser that has Canvas support also has some level of SVG support. Why try to give Canva

Indeed and while IE usage worldwide is dropping rapidly, mostly in favour of Chrome (for good reasons) it will still be many years before IE<9 drops to < 5% of the market, which is the point at which most developers would cut it loose. See http://gs.statcounter.com/ IE is currently about 46% of

HTML5 is a bit of a catch-all. In practice it is used to refer to "stuff browsers other than IE can do", so I don't have a problem with SVG being counted as a HTML5 feature. Obviously, the limitations of canvas mean it's not a good way to implement things like sprites that need to be modified

Hi Andreas I hadn't actually *tried* it, so your feedback is useful. I thought it would be a bit smarter than that, and would translate sprite animations into the equivalent DOM graphic + animation, but I guess timeline-based things like tweening have no corollary in SVG. I guess we shouldn't
