That would certainly be possible. There is an example of using Batik in an applet at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/demo.html. You could use conditional comments to let a normal SVG (via <img>, <embed>, <object> or whatever) render in capable UAs, and use an <applet> in IE. One disadvantage of the <applet> approach, though, is that because of cross-domain rules, it cannot load resources from other domains. At one point I wondered whether a plugin or extension could be written for IE that would replace references to SVG in <object>, etc. with a corresponding <applet> element. I was able to do this with the Netscape plugin API (NPAPI), but since I didn’t know ActiveX/COM stuff, I didn’t know how to target IE. http://mcc.id.au/temp/2008/batik-in-the-browser.c http://mcc.id.au/temp/2008/npshell.c > I did a quick check of harmony and I suggest we do not go down that route > for now.
