Hi, I do not use Batik, but I understand it does not function as a browser plug-in but rather under Java.
That aside, FireFox/Mozilla has native SVG support including ecmascript. IE can use the Adobe plugin. But, for information, here are some good resources. You will just have to dig and read: http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/samples/ lot's of great stuff to examine (especially pertinent to GIS) http://pilat.free.fr/ good examples (in french) http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/SVGAnimations.htm more good stuff, and links http://jwatt.org/svg/authoring/ good authoring guidelines http://alzt.tau.ac.il/~dagan/tools/panZoom.svg zoom and pan example http://www.kevlindev.com/ more good stuff http://wiki.svg.org/Main_Page incomplete but usable reference Read until it makes sense, that seems to be the way to go.
