Are you kidding me? It's like I hadn't said a word.

Your code is wrong. Firefox is correct and Opera is disobeying standards.

This mailing list clearly needs to enable the blink tag...

<blink>In your case I think it's your SVG file at fault</blink>


the text is supposed to render fully inside the graphic without scrolling

It's text in the page... it'll take up as much space as it needs to display, and this may mean displaying scrollbars. You cannot expect to control that while it's in the HTML. However, if you want the text to scale with an SVG sized the same as the screen, then put the text _in_ the SVG.

thank you for the definitive statement. before i read your response, i had figured out the code was wrong. sorry to be such a frustration to you. how do you place the text in the svg; rather, where in the svg would i place the text to center it inside the "graphic"? i was not trying to get the text to scale with the graphic, though that is an excellent idea. all i was trying to do was have the svg as a background to the text; to see if i could do it. sometimes i am not clear in what i am trying to do. now that you understand what i am trying to do, is it possible?
