Compare the two files at http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/recent/htmlsvgcanvas7a.htm
and http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/recent/htmlsvgcanvas7b.htm The first merely loads a jpg bitmap into a <canvas> and an SVG file into an <embed> (I was using <img> instead, but some browsers seemed unhappy with me for that) When the button is pushed, a part of the canvas is read as a pixel array, manipulated and then redisplayed. It works just fine in IE9, Opera, FF4, Safari, Chrome. In the second file, two small differences: a)the file read into the canvas is the same SVG as that in the embed, b) an alert is popped up to show the src of the image object, once loaded into the browser, but prior to writing into the canvas. No browser seems to pass this simple test. a) IE loads the SVG into the img, displays it in the canvas, but refuses to manipulate the pixel array b) Safari loads the SVG into the img, displays it in the canvas (but without antialiasing), and refuses to manipulate the pixel array c) Ditto for Chrome d) Firefox loads the SVG into the img, but doesn't display it or allow pixel manipulation. e) Opera doesn't load the SVG into the img. I think I'd rather just add this to the acid test suite than to file five separate bug reports. Heck, I'm too lazy for even that. Maybe I'll just add it to my own private set of Cool tests (not having to do with Ken Kesey or Ian Hickson). Of course, I suppose it is possible that the spec specifically allows browsers to give up at different points along this progression, since it is probably clear that I am up to no good!
