There is nothing in HTML that says you can't use SVG - and for that matter you could probably use it for more than just images. The img element is meant for something that doesn't necessarily have interactivity, which would conflict with image maps and so on, and isn't meant to provide DOM access - it predates all those things. So for various reasons it isn't trivial to do this. That said, we are looking at how to do it. (We will have support for SVG as a background image, e.g. through CSS, or setting an SVG as a list bullet, in Opera 10. This won't allow for interaction). In short, yes I expect it to happen, but it probably won't be in the next week. cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile, Opera Software: Standards Group hablo español - je parle français - jeg lærer norsk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Try Opera 9.1 http://opera.com ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
