Hi Philippe, many thanks for that! Very helpful links. Surprised that I hadn't been there before. Maybe its just that the other browsers are more forgiving... Microsoft's Visual Web Developer includes the following doctype when creating a new html page: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> This is the doctype on most of the files on my website, so I added it to my html file (containing the embeded SVG files), and the SVG now displays correctly. Maybe VWD will add <!DOCTYPE HTML> when that becomes a standard.
I have not yet uploaded the corrected file because there's another problem: the flash player is not rendered (in IE9). I know there are issues surrounding the <audio> tag, so still do this using a third party player. I'll be taking a closer look at this tomorrow, and uploading the (hopefully) corrected file when I'm done. Audio is not really on-topic for this forum, but if anyone has any bright ideas I'd like to hear them! :-) Best, James --- In [email protected], "philsvg" <philsvg@...> wrote: > > Hi, > > MS says in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325%28v=vs.85%29.aspx > that you should use an html5 doctype : <!DOCTYPE html> but it is not exact, > because html5 doctype is not fixed.
