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.

 

Cheers

David
