The example at http://cs.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/lizard2.svg
Shows three lizards. One is simply replicated but stationary. One (the green one) crawls up the page while the "d" attribute of its path is animated and an animateTransform is applied. So far everything works in all browsers that support animation: ASV, Opera, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. But, then, the orange lizard is instructed to follow a path with animateMotion. Firefox and Safari(windows) do what I had intended for the lizard to do - it crawls, head first along the path However, Opera, ASV and Chrome all send the lizard into places that are unsafe for lizards. I would surmise that the initial static transform (applied to center the lizard on the path) is somehow being overridden by the subsequent animation. This hypothesis is bolstered by the somewhat simplified case at http://cs.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/lizard2.3.svg in which the orange lizard is simply dragged along the path rather than being asked to crawl. The opposite sort of problem can be seen here: http://cs.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/animoval8b.svg In it, a static object is asked to animate along a path, but the path itself moves. Opera, Chrome and Safari do what I expect them to, but FF doesn't follow the oscillation. I suspect this latter is an FF bug.
