SVG Viewer

[Andre Schmidt]

hmm,

svg _definetly_ works on ff1.5+, otherwise i wouldnt done my site
http://osku.de (no it doesnt do anything) and you could allso test the
examples here: http://www.croczilla.com/svg/samples/

i assume the site youre trying, wants explicit a (adobe?) svg plugin.
thats why it doesnt work with build-in svg support...

read again "The only new feature added above the support in Firefox 1.5
is <textPath>" that means ff1.5 has all the features on the list expect
textpath...

and allmost forgot my tests with ff1.5
http://osku.de/svg/gui-examples/

cheers
andre

ps. iirc, opera has even better (complete) support on (build-in) svg
than ff (animation etc...)
