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

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.

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

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

AW: [svg-developers] Re: Vote for SVG Support in IE7
John, just a thought about copy-and-modify use of standards.

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 link from Jeff: https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?SiteID=136FeedbackID=54028 https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?SiteID=136FeedbackID=54028 Cheers, Rolf Andreas Neumann schrieb: I actually wanted to give feedback, but didn't manage.
