Browsers that dont support SVG natively require some type of  tag.



here is what i have.  i created an abstract graphic in illustrator and 
saved it as a svg file.  according to adobe one uses the  
tag to place the file in a web page.  the page sticks in the validator 
at the embed tag.  here is the sample page.  is there a way to make this 
page to standards using this format?

[WSG] using scalable vector graphics

2005-07-17 Thread dwain
i am beginning to experiment with svgs and find them fascinating.  the 
problem i have found with using them is they will not validate because 
of the  tag.  i'm not sure at this point what to ask or how to 
ask it, except how to use them so they will validate.


your thoughts, resource links on use, etc. please.

Hi

As Angus has said, this is off topic. It's more browser centric/web
dev issue than about standards on the web.

Please reply off list.

Thanks

Stick the AddType line in a text file, rename the file .htaccess (notice 
the leading dot) and upload that into your site's home directory. If 
your host has allowed it, .htaccess files can define local rules for 
your site without the need to change the core httpd.conf (which is 
unlikely to happen on a shared hosting solution).

Various ways. If you are using Apache, you could (in .htaccess or 
httpd.conf)


AddType application/octet-stream .mp3
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype

or, if they're all in a directory with nothing else

ForceType application/octet-stream
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#forcetype

Not bullet proof, as some browsers will still try to guess the file 
type from incoming data and act accordingly...




I am very new to all this. I like option one, however, I am not the 
system adminastrator and I could not modify the httpd file. I do not 
know if I should send the above to the system administrator of the web 
host I am using or the modification is on my end.

On a more general note though: Firefox only behaves that way because at 
some point you probably told it to. Some users may actually have their 
browser set specifically to how they want it to handle such files, and 
it may be rude (read: against usability precepts) to override their choice.


Sent to list because I do think it's relevant to a certain extent...
