Sujana's suggestion did not work for me either. I managed to get around the problem but placing the svg in an svg file (mysvg.svg) and then including it in my html file:
<object data="mysvg.svg" type="image/svg+xml" width="1200" height="800"> <embed src="mysvg.svg" type="image/svg+xml" width="1200" height="800"/> </object> The above worked on Chrome, FF, Safari, and Opera.
