English is the lingua Franka of the 21st century and even for the Japanese who do not speak it there are translation pages available online. AFAIK there is no way to link to someone else's SVGZ and prevent the viewer from clicking on links therein. I could be possible to place someone else's SVG in your webpage (HTML or SVG) and prevent clicking by having your own event sniffers. My suggestion, FWIIW, would be to rename your SVGZ and replace the links on the site or to put your images in HTML documents so you can add the Analytics. YMMV. ____________________________________________________________ I must be travelling, Jason tc+ ?23 ?mgt mt tne ?t20 t4++ ?t5 ?tp tg+ ?th ?to ru- ge++ 3i c++ jt- au+ ls pi+ ta+ he+ kk++ hi+ as+ va+ dr ?ith vr ne so+ zh vi da sy ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: svg-developers-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
