Well, you just show me examples to highlight the xbrowser SVG incompatibility.
http://www.geofoto.ch/geophotomap/ does not work on Opera 9.8031 http://www.carto.net/williams/yosemite/ take forever to load (Sean also mention that) 2 out of 3 don't work xbrowser. And the 3rd is a widgetlibrary not a real application. The browsers are still rendering them differently or have problem with it. Both the SVG content and browsers will get better but the applications that you point out are not usable in firefor or Opera at this moment. That is my point. >why is Adobe so important to SVG? IE is the only browser with no >native SVG support. I think you answered your question. Adobe is important because IE is the browser with no native SVG support. I am not cheering for IE on lack of SVG support but the reality is IE still used by the majority and if we need to develop an applcation right now, we need a capable plugin. >They have to support it soon if they don't want >to loose more market share. Native SVG support in browsers is much >better than a plugin anyway. With a plugin you are in this box and >the Eolas case showed us what can happen to plugins ... lots of >annoying stuff ... I am not arguing that plugin is better. I am just stating the fact that we don't have it in IE at this point. Again, I am not cheering for it. Doc wrote: "I think your just sitting too close to the screen, and need to pull back some to see the larger picture of why Adobe having acquired the Flash player would want to shift the SVG effort into that product and discontinue the ASV" I can see this being your wish (and our wishes as well), but please don't treat it like a fact. It may still happen but there is no sign of it happening. You may want to sit a bit closer to reality. --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, "Andreas Neumann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Well, I already create SVG applications, and while > > the various implementations are still short of being fully > > compliant with the w3.org standards, the overlap of what is already > > implemented has me already making money developing > > xbrowser SVG. > > I can say the same about my applications.
