Hi Fulio, It would be certainly good to advise your visitors/customers to use an SVG enabled browser. At the current time, Opera is the best SVG enabled browser, but Webkit/Safari and Mozilla are catching up.
At SVG Open conference, just recently held in Nuremberg, the lack of SVG support inside IE was extensively discussed and many people realize that an improved SVG plugin for IE is needed soon, if we want SVG to play an important role in upcoming web infrastructures. I can say there is hope that such a plugin will be provided in the next couple months. As you may know, Examotion is working on an IE plugin. On the other hand there is also the chance that one of the existing browser projects/vendors (either Webkit, Opera or Mozilla) will step up and leverage their existing SVG technology to provide an IE plugin. This is all in early stages - discussion just started. But some of the browser developers present at SVG Open stated that this is technically realistic. This could be regarded as a SVG/IE solution for the medium time frame until IE gets native SVG support. But realistically SVG support could be in IE 9 earliest - and this is some time away. Until then we have to bridge the gap. And we don't have to forget that there are still a lot of old IE versions around. The place where I work, still has lots of IE6 installations ...

Many visitors of the site are still using the IE browser. I understand that the IE browser will not display svg files in near future, but Firefox and Opera will. My question is that approximately when the IE will stop presenting svg? After that will there be any remedy for svg on the IE browser? Or I have to advise the visitors to switch to Firefox or Opera? > > Thanks for your expertise. > Fulio Pen > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
