After having success with every browser (but IE) on Windows, here's my |
| 30 |
test results with the same browsers on Linux: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
SeaMonkey 1.1.16 - all 3 worked |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Firefox - Embed and Iframe work, but Object does not |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Konqueror 4.2.4 - all 3 worked |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Opera 10 beta - Embed and Iframe work, but Object does not. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I think the reason why Opera and FF do not work in "Object" mode is |
| 42 |
because the example on the w3schools website is wrong. They use the |
| 43 |
"codebase" attribute as the "download location for the plug-in" but |
| 44 |
the HTML specs say "This attribute specifies the base path used to |
| 45 |
resolve relative URIs specified by the classid, data, and archive |
| 46 |
attributes." So, in other words, FF and Opera are trying to load |
| 47 |
"http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/rect1.svg" which does not |
| 48 |
exist, resulting in no blue rectangle. I'd be willing to bet both of |
| 49 |
these browsers would work with an Object-tag-embed SVG given a |
| 50 |
properly-formed example. |
