I did quite a bit of research into Mozilla SVG compatibility and found that there aren't many Linux based solutions right now. There is the Adobe SVG plugin available, but as another poster pointed out, hasn't worked with Mozilla for quite a while. There are a number of java based toolkits which offer varying (but mostly unsatisfactory) results and are in various stages of (un)development. There is also and "SVG in Mozilla" project which is moving along slowly, but doesn't seem to be very far along and is generally not in into most Mozilla builds as of yet. IE supports it quite well I've heard (using the Adobe plugin) but there are also problems with the "plugin patent" case, where IE has to put up a OK box everytime a plugin is run. SVG is a decent format for vector graphics and animation but not on linux yet. I'd give it another year or two before anything is really considered working and usable outside of the windows world. -- burton samograd http://kruhftwerk.dyndns.org -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
