I need the special effect filters. I like shadows on some of my objects. My SVG graphics aren't so big that the filters slow things down much. I just want my app to run properly on as many browsers as possible, and right now the only browser that works correctly is the much maligned Internet Explorer.
And slow scripting isn't acceptable either since my app is completely scripted. Can you share with us how you get stuff to work in Opera? That would be way kewl. Geoffrey J.

I'm really surprised to hear that, actually. I find Firefox's SVG to be adequate for most uses, though of course it has its limitations. Scripting is noticeably slower than ASV, and it doesn't have SMIL animation or filters or, most importantly to me, SVG Fonts, but for all that, I find that it works really well for the WebApps I've built within those constraints. (In any case, filters are so slow in ASV that I avoid them anyway.) Fortunately, the next version of MozSVG has been significantly reworked, and should be more performant in addition to having a larger feature set. Considering that this is the first version of FF with SVG, I think it's reasonable to give them a bit of a break. No offense, but it may be that you simply haven't worked with it enough to overcome the quirks that inevitably show up in different UAs. | I'd rather try to force it to use the Adobe plugin. | Mozilla seems totally incapable of running the | Adobe plugin, and Opera runs it but with lots of bugs. Opera 9 also has a very nice native implementation of SVG, faster and more complete than FF, so you should look at that. I am able, with only a little careful coding, to get my apps running in IE+ASV, FF, and Opera, which is very gratifying to me. ASV is a great plugin, but it looks like a dead end... better to go with the future of SVG, which I think will be native implementations.
