Embedding SVG by reference (thought the img element) is well suited to HTML. SVG was designed for this as stated in Embedding by reference section here: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/concepts.html#UsageOptions I tested Opera's support for SVG through the img element and it incorrectly clips the

Hi Daniel, Sorry, I still don't get it. A raster (bitmap) image, which _isn't_ really designed to scale, has intrinsic size yet it is scaled by the IMG's width and height attributes. Why isn't an image that _is_ designed to scale not scaled by the IMG's width and height attributes? Regards,

[whatwg] Load SVG via IMG element

2007-10-04 Thread Vlad Alexander (xhtml.com)
