Hello, Thank you all for your help. I am still using IE8 which came with the XP. Probably this is why the svg file doesn't display on the IE browser. The svg file is included in the following html file, and there are a lot of problems:
http://www.pinyinology.com/shuangWen/shuangWen.html Opening the above file with the Chrome, the drawing displays very well. With the FF, it asks to download plug-ins time and again, but the svg drawing never appears. With IE8, the drawing displays, but all the arrows in the drawing disappear. Following is the code of embedding the svg file in the .html file. <embed src="lang2a.svg" width="1000" height="450" type="image/svg+xml" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/" /> Following is the svg file: http://www.pinyinology.com/shuangWen/lang2a.svg I am expecting help from experts in this group. Thanks a lot in advance. fuliopen From: David Dailey <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, May 4, 2011 10:56:53 PM Subject: RE: [svg-developers] Cannot open an svg file with the IE Hi Fuliopen My IE9 sees what you did just fine, I think: a few circles, some dashed and some not, describing what appears to be a transition of Chinese writing from ideographic to phonemic. (the topic interests me!) If you're looking at it from IE8 or earlier, then I would be suspicious of the doctype and xml stuff: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> If you have the ASV viewer for IE8 or below, then it is likely to render and I don't know why it wouldn't.
