Re: [svg-developers] Re: Vote for SVG Support in IE7

I dont know why but I woke up this morning thinking about this vote
(probably the bad democratic shape of France ...)

I wish as much as everyone does on this list that SVG becomes THE
graphic Standard on the web but I am just kind of sceptical about
 this vote thing :

* First : I cant see why democracy rules would apply in such a setting
MS calls to vote might hide other purposes ...
* Second : Assuming (as it seems) that there is a more or less imminent war
between MS and Adobedia around RIA technologies, I cant see why MS would
bundle ASV in IE and thus introduce some kind of dependency to Adobe.
* Third :  However  if Adobe  finally  decides to completely abandon SVG,
then including SVG support in IE maybe makes sense strategically ? This
would explain why Adobe is so silent about their intent about SVG.

Hello All,

I've looked at the recent votes, and its at about 185 and continuing.

I guess we could go on for the next few months and build this to any 
number. I think it's time to make a statement to the IEblog, rather 
than extend this further.

I'd like to nominate Jeff Schiller to revisit that blog to present 
the SVG Developers Statement, based on the comments from the 
voting list.

This statement would assist the IE7 team to make a decision, and see 
the future if the right decision is made.

We can quicky build this statement on this list, giving opportunity 
for all to provide their input.

[svg-developers] Re: Vote for SVG Support in IE7

2006-05-11 Thread Jeff Schiller
To everyone on this list:  

I did get a private reply from Chris Wilson of the IEBlog a few days
ago and have debated whether to relay the news.  Here goes:

Chris stated that they are not planning to include ASV with IE7 for
reasons that:  a) it is an ActiveX control (whether he means security
issues or the Eolas thing) and b) Adobe isn't actively maintaining
that control.  

On the flip side, he also said that they expect to natively support
SVG at some point, but can't give any further details (citing that the
roadmap is still being worked out).  They are aware how much demand is
there for it, though.

Finally, he said that he expects to address this eventually in the
IEBlog at some point.  I think this would be a good idea.

Quick question to those who have tried IE7 Betas:  Do they bundle the
Flash plugin?  Maybe the best bet now is to get Adobe to include the
ASV as part of the Flash plugin?  Maybe John F can speak to this?  The
silence is deafening...

There is comfort in the fact that ALL other major browsers are
actively pursuing SVG support (Opera, Firefox, Camino, SeaMonkey,
Safari, Konqueror).  Even despite the market share, this does put
pressure on the IE team to keep parity.  It will happen eventually.

As SVG support matures in the other browsers and becomes a little less
sketchy, I think we'll start to see web apps that work better or
look nicer or have increased functionality in browsers other than
IE.  The nice thing is that there is now more than one free
alternative to IE, the challenge is overcoming the 'Blue E = Internet'
mindset of the masses.  Does anyone really think that IE's dominance
in TODAY's web is not due to its automatic deployment on all Windows
PCs?  IE has been obsolete for more than 2 years and they still have
significant catch-up to do for standards support.

Anyway, I think it's up to us as SVG developers/evangelists to
convince people that SVG is worthwhile and start building out those
wow applications.  Heck, let's make those applications XHTML+SVG
with suggestions to IE users that they can update themselves to one of
the free alternatives to use the site (and some screenshots of what
they're missing, of course).

Of course this is dependent upon getting alternative browser support
of SVG into a more even/reliable state (in my mind this equates to
Firefox supporting declarative animation, can others give their
opinion on Konqueror and Safari levels of support?).

Whoof - once again a small email has turned into a long diatribe, my
apologies!

Jeff

Just a stray thought, someone had posted an example of a Google Maps
mashup that used a driving path that could be dragged/adjusted in
real-time.  If that app actually snapped the waypoints to spots in the
map and then gave the new driving directions that corresponded to real
street corners, etc I think that would be amazing.  Of course this
isn't trivial ;)

I think this is one of the most effective ways to convince MS that IE 
should have native SVG support.  Of course, they are moving at a glacial 
pace, so we'll all probably grow old and die first, but the pressure 
must be maintained.  IE still doesn't have tabbed browsing natively, 
which I imagine is a trivial addition when compared to SVG support...

2006-05-11 Thread Andreas Neumann
Jeff,

thanks for sharing this information - it is useful. It's pretty much what I 
expected. If we get 
SVG support in IE8, thats perfectly fine for me, even a tiny or basic profile 
with DOM support 
would be good for a first version.

about bundling ASV with Flash: I am pretty sure they won't bundle it. ASV isn't 
maintained 
and the latest stable release is from 2001.

Luckily other browser vendors are now active in the SVG world.

Andreas

RE: [svg-developers] Re: Vote for SVG Support in IE7

2006-05-06 Thread Doug Schepers
Just a note here to indicate a major obstacle/opportunity for SVG in IE. IE
does not currently support DOM2 (much less DOM3), and thus many of the
methods and consistency of scripting that we are used to in SVG would not be
there if IE implemented SVG today. So, while I am definitely hoping that IE
will eventually support SVG, I don't think it will happen until they build a
new DOM engine. By that same token, when/if they do build it (and they have
to, in order to make a competitive modern browser), SVG will be much easier
for them to add on top while they are in the process. Overall, I'm
optimistic, but I'm prepared to be patient.

2006-05-06 Thread Francis Hemsher
I guess since we are in a reflective mode at this time, awaiting 
some indicator from the IE team to let us know how they are going 
proceed, I'll give my spin on the situation.

ASV3 will be bundled with IE7. The SVG Object to then be built by MS 
will include creative aspects, not currently included in W3C 
standards.

The SVG to XAML linking, a great idea, will be a major player.

Just a note here to indicate a major obstacle/opportunity for SVG in IE. IE

I agreed on that. To me; as the situation right now  it  seem to be hopeless
for IE to bundle ASV. I don't think MS is not going to consider to do it
until at least it get then firm commitment  ASV's side; beside logistical
and cost affect of the move.

I do not advocate for mine, but just try inject some vitamins into this
pessimistic environment -I think ?. - And also it too  excit for not to say
something about it,

Since it very first approach all SVG players: ADOBE, FF, Batik. . . stay the
direction where SVG as a 'Child development platform it is very much ind
pendent from other element of the DOM tree so that why it stay in 'specialty
product' this make me rethink on this issue. Believe or not making IE to
support SVG is hard even it is harder than making browserS (big S). that run
on windows platform

I think by the end of next week I will have a link for you play with the
different but paint less approach to the SVG saga. I assure you it will make
your live much easier then you think.
It is simple as this:

img src=SVGdata:File/Load;charset=US-ASCII,SIG=abcd,
http://YourDomain.com/images/Your.svg; . . .

or:

YourImg.src=SVGdata:Data/Load;charset=US-ASCII,SIG=abcd,
+SvgXMLDocument.ToString();

Thru (AJAX  but run locally at client side) you will have much more
available information of that  image.such as the absolute color of a pixel
on your img . . .

From there you will process all event as if it is the normal html.

Cheers.

2006-04-27 Thread Armin Mueller
John,

just a thought about copy-and-modify use of standards.

XMLHttpRequest is no standard but a modification of a standard from
Microsoft
getURL is no standard but a modification of a standard from Adobe
windows object in javascript is no standard but a modification of a standard

I think sometimes we have also advantages in modifying standards

SVG is MIME type text/svg+xml - and the xmlns value for SVG 1.1 has already
been published.


Personally, after seeing how incompable JScript was with Javascript, J# was
with Java, and VC++ was with C++ for a long time - I just hope they take
their time, and do it right the first time.

I think the world has had enough of copy-and-modify use of standards during
the last decade to last it the next century.

If they focus on implementing the same subset of the standard as Firefox or
a proper superset of it, that would be pretty good for all involved, right?

Right now it is looking like Firefox 2.0 will be released before IE 7 goes
final, let alone IE 8. If they try to do too much new stuff in IE 7, it is
never going to come out. Then people will not get all the important fixes
they are working on for HTML/XHTML.

 I think the knowledgeble comments with each vote are excellent,

2006-04-27 Thread Jeff Schiller

I'd like to point out that this thing we're voting on is recognized as
an enhancement, not a bug (by the originator).  While I agree with
this, I suspect it also means that votes are counted somewhat on a
curve (i.e. they give preference to actual bugs).

Just my take - BUT KEEP VOTING!

I actually wanted to give feedback, but didn't manage.

They made me to create a ms passport (which I avoided so far). After creating 
that 
passport I came to a listing of programs which told me to apply for a program.

What should I do here? Just wanted to give feedback. Also the program for 
internet 
explorer was already expired on 3/21

Is there an easy link to get to this feedback page or an advice to get there 
directly?

Hi Andreas,

i think you were on the right way.
It took me another 2 minutes to apply for the programm Internet 
Explorer Feedback(Has to be done once),
and then i got to the many different votes. (The date 3/21 stands for 
Start of Application, and not for End of Application)

Once you´re logged in and applied for the programme, you can take the 
easy way and get directly to the SVG-Vote over the following

Hi Samy,

The voting is currently at 72 and counting...
(I looked at other voting subjects, and SVG can pull ahead of the 
pack in voting interest.) 

I think the knowledgeble comments with each vote are excellent, 
showing a substantial awareness of SVG, the marketplace, how IE can 
participate.

SVG is MIME type text/svg+xml - and the xmlns value for SVG 1.1 has
already been published.


Personally, after seeing how incompable JScript was with Javascript,
J# was with Java, and VC++ was with C++ for a long time - I just hope
they take their time, and do it right the first time.

I think the world has had enough of copy-and-modify use of standards
during the last decade to last it the next century.

If they focus on implementing the same subset of the standard as
Firefox or a proper superset of it, that would be pretty good for all
involved, right?

Right now it is looking like Firefox 2.0 will be released before IE 7
goes final, let alone IE 8. If they try to do too much new stuff in IE
7, it is never going to come out. Then people will not get all the
important fixes they are working on for HTML/XHTML.

Voted over a month ago on the bug and the suggested workaround
(bundle ASV with IE7).  The link after you've logged in is: 
https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?SiteID=136FeedbackID=54028

Seems there are some people leaving feedback to the contrary though
(mikes12345 states Adobe SVG is a pig).  I'm curious about this - a
pig compared to what?  Is there any alternative?

Hi Jeff,
Yes, I saw, and second, your comment. I was going include some kind 
remark about the pig guy, but I held my tongue:)
