Hi Robert, You might be right, I don't have a complete understanding of the spec. It does work in webkit, though, and this might be the source of my confusion. Would I be correct in thinking, then, that something like the following would be the correct way to specify an svg element that takes up the full width and height of the page?
<div style="width:100%;height:100%;"> <svg width="100%" height="100%"></svg> </div> In order to better understand this, I've been playing around with width/height=100% just on divs, without inner svg elements, and have been getting somewhat confusing results: http://msdl.cs.mcgill.ca/people/jake/tests/svgHeight100Percent_3.html http://msdl.cs.mcgill.ca/people/jake/tests/svgHeight100Percent_3.xhtml Why does the one page served up as html show a fullscreen div, while the other xhtml document shows nothing? Are width/height attributes on divs handled so differently between the HTML and XHTML specs? Results are consistent across FF, Opera and Webkit. I'd appreciate it if you could help me understand what's going on here, and let me know what you think is the correct way to specify an SVG element that takes up the whole viewport width and height.
