Re: SVG still being developed?

Hi,

Perhaps I should have said that I test browsers with my web comic. This has lots of features, some of which aren't supported by some browsers - animated filters, filters that access the background graphic, SMIL, Javascript, internal fonts, text on paths etc.. However there are some things I don't or seldom use: polylines, symbols, markers, CSS based interactivity etc.. I don't even know what a view element does! I put the results of my tests on http://www.pixelpalaces.com/svgviewers.htm I haven't found any improvements in the last few browser upgrades (sorry can't remember exactly how many) but they could have been improving things my web comic doesn't use. There are a number of frames where there are problems with multiple browsers. One example is frames which were designed for the user t
 o use pan and zoom, these don't work well in most browsers because pan and zoom is absent or poor (I know you can roll your own but that introduces more issues). There's one frame which only works properly in IE/ASV 3 and I have no idea why as the code's similar to many other frames that work in all browsers.
