Hi Richard, I'm sure there are many of in this situation!
Our App is a combined HTML/SVG data UI solution for govt depts are who are all IE users They will not be going to any other browsers any time soon (including ie7) and Flash is not really a solution for us as one of the key issues for us, and a key reason for choosing ASV was (and remains) the need for users to have a rastered copy of the SVG for post-use, as when a user has found the data, made a chart and so on, 99 times out of 100 they want to paste it into a word document. Fortunately the guys at Renesis have included a 'copy image' function in their player so I'm hoping that Renesis activeX object gets a good wind behind it and comes by for when you and I both take our head's out of the sand! --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Tell me about it, a complete nightmare. > > Our apps solely work on SVG with some large companies and we are rewriting > our apps to work on IE and all the Native SVG browsers coming out.
