Since Adobe get "FLASH" we have been preparing ourselves an alternative where we use JavaScript and Only JavaScript to render SVG elements. As a mater of fact. If We can do it then anyone can do it too. Going Thu this avenue we do have full control of any event that we want. As long as IE7-8-9 ... supporting PNG and either Data:URL or Script:URL It still work fine. This may be an option for all of us to think of.
There is an demo I put at: oneplusplus.com/webproject/demosvg.asp. Note: To show that one will work on FF/IE and others browser we purposely turn of the Anti-Alias and the gradient flags off. Even they are there in the code.
