There are enough users with browsers that don’t properly support SVG (IE <=
8, Android <= 2.3) that I’d be hesitant to use it for a mainstream site.
However, for a developer-focused site I think it would be fine.
If you do want to fallback to PNG, it’s easy to accomplish with a bit of
Javascript. Here’s what I use (I’ve started going full-SVG [for applicable
images] for all new work:
if (! Modernizr.svg) {
$("img[src$='.svg']").each(function() {
var img = $(this);
src = img.attr('src');
img.attr('src', src.replace('.svg', '.png'));
});
}
This particular code depends on Modernizr and jQuery. Modernizr is quite
light (I built a customized version using their site that weighs in at
under 2k). The jQuery dependency probably wouldn’t be worth pulling in just
for that; for a couple of images it could be done manually per-image in
pure Javascript rather than using selectors to find all applicable images.
For images referenced in CSS (such as the header on the current site), it’s
even easier, as Modernizr adds a CSS class to the body element to indicate
that a feature isn’t supported:
.logo {
background: url(‘/path/to/logo.svg’);
}
.no-svg .logo {
background: url(‘/path/to/logo.png’);
}
BTW, the new design looks amazing - great work! I’m looking forward to
seeing it live.
