Hi I am try to make use of several definitions of icons, specified as groups <g> within the <defs> section of a file.
If I include the <defs> content within the SVG file I want to use the icons in, the image is rendered in all the browsers I have tried (Safari 5.0.5, firefox 4.01, Chrome 11.0.696.71). However, if I put the <defs> content in another file, and refer to the icons via the <use> tag, the only browser of the three that displays the icons is Firefox. For example, if I have a SVG file which contains my <defs> section and put <use xlink:href="#activity" x="240" y="100" width="32" height="32" id="activity1icon" /> then the icon defined is rendered in all 3 browsers, whereas if I put the <defs> in an external file cld-icons.svg and refer like this <use xlink:href="cld-icons.svg#activity" x="240" y="100" width="32" height="32" id="activity1icon" /> the only browser which displays the icons is Firefox. Am I making a mistake in my coding, or is Firefox the only browser which will load <defs> from external files? Thee are two examples avaialble here: http://www.basher-sounds.co.uk/ou/svg/one-file-no-scripts/ <http://www.basher-sounds.co.uk/ou/svg/one-file-no-scripts/%20> one for the <defs> within the file, the other for <defs> in an external file. The ability to refer to one set of icon definitions from many SVG files is really useful, so I am hoping it's my coding which is at fault! I hope some one in the group will let me know. I've seen from searching this group that there's awhat likes like a relevant bug in Chrome (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12499 <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12499> ) that remains unfixed. Thanks for any advice Andrew [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [email protected] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
