Hello everyone, my sister just pointed me to a problem with the SVG embedding on my website. My code looks like this:
<!--[if !IE]>--> <object type="image/svg+xml" data="artwork/Crocus.svg" width="30%" height="40%"></object> <!--<![endif]--> <!--[if IE]> <embed type="image/svg+xml" src="artwork/Crocus.svg" style="width:30%;height:40%;" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/svg/ viewer/install/main.html"> <![endif]--> I've had problems myself with testing it in MSIE when using the object tag, so I switched to this solution with conditional comments. Now, my sister used MSIE. So the object tag is ignored, the embed tag is interpreted. She does not have ASV installed. So I would expect the browser to offer opening the site referenced in the pluginspage attribute. But it didn't. It just showed a frame and this litte place-holder image to mark the area where the SVG is meant to be. Even clicking that area did not reveal the option of installing a plugin. I then tried it at my own PC with a fancy content type and my own website for pluginspage, and the result was the same. I don't see anything in my security settings which looks like it could cause this. And I don't think my sister even made any changes from the default settings. Am I missing something here? Is this not supposed to work the way I thought? I've got IE version 6 installed my sister used version 7. Does someone know what's wrong here? If I can't make this work it's got influence on how I'll need to embed SVG documents to account for IE users. From what I've read the above seems to be the recommended way. So it would be quite a drawback if that doesn't work. I suppose about everyone on this list who has MSIE installed also has ASV. But you can try a fancy content type to see what IE makes of it. Even if this is an erroneous behavior I'd like to know how common it is.
