I am writing a jigsaw demo using SVG. the work in progress works fine on Opera, 
Chrome, Safari and fails mysteriously on Firefox. I wonder if someone can tell 
me either (a) my SVG is wrong and Opera, Chrome and Safari were just being 
kind, or (b) this is a known problem in Firefox and there is a workaround.

The demo is online at <http://jigsaw.alleged.org.uk/> and comprises a trivial 
SVG file and a single JavaScript file. The code is at 
<http://github.com/pdc/jigsaw>

The pieces are realized as a path whose fill is a pattern. The pattern uses a 
symbol. The symbol, shared by all the patterns, contains the image. The idea is 
that each piece just shows its part of the image, which is need be loaded only 
once. All these items are added with JavaScript.

I occasionally see an odd effect with hollow puzzle pieces that don’t load 
their image until I poke them. But on Firefox it is worseâ€"the pieces are 
completely invisible. I can check the DOM via Firebug and see the expected SVG 
elements, but nothing is visible, not even the stroked outlines.

Is this fixable? Is there a better way to get the effect I want that avoids 
this problem?

Thanks
