About six months ago I created a lot of SVG content and rendered it in IE 6 using ASV. There appears to be some renewed interest in once again creating web based graphics so your post is very timely.
I too am concerned about rendering SVG on IE (the approved web browser standard). What additional resources (costs) is needed to rendered SVG like graphics using Open Laszlo or Dojo2D? Do I need to purchase Flash (no idea how much that costs). Never heard of either Open Laszlo or Dojo2D - which do you prefer and how do you best get started? --- In [email protected], Guy Morton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Whether they do or not will depend entirely on what they think will > maximize their profits.
