Of the 86 SVG pages I maintain at http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/SVGAnimations.htm and http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/svg_filter_play.htm, and http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/intro/svg_intro.htm 56 of them are now working in at least two of the following three browsers: (IE/ASV3, FF1.5 and Opera 9.0).
Opera's scripting and support for filters is impressive, and took me a bit by surprise -- most of the things that don't work there are my fault (I haven't rewritten the code to be cross-browser compatible since I thought it didn't matter). Opera is also really fast for the JavaScript processing as can be determined by running it head to head against other browsers on the following investigation of speeds of alternative methods of building very large strings (concatenation vs. appending to arrays). http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/javascript/stringtimer.html [technical note: I had always built dynamic content by building big strings: for (i=0;i<azillion;i++) s+=HTMLorSVGjunk; spitout(s) It turns out (at least in IE) that A=new Array; for (i=0;i<azillion;i++) A[i]=HTMLorSVGjunk; spitout(A.join("") ) is a whole lot faster in IE particularly when azillion is big. I'm sure some of you already knew that, but it was a bit surprising to me, always trusting that the underlying implementation of my language interpreters has been written to perform optimally. ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
