<h1> State of SVG and Canvas in Modern Browsers</h1>
<p> <strong>By: Alastair Tse - Last Updated: 27 April 2006</strong>
</p>
<p>My friends, just like HTML and CSS, different browsers support
different subsections of the SVG and Canvas specification. As part of
my work on PlotKit, the next generation javascript plotting library,
I've decided to summarise all the quirks in SVG and Canvas support.
</p>
<h1> Browsers Considered</h1>
<p>I am looking at browsers that are considered "modern" as of
March 2006. These include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://apple.com/safari/">Safari 2.0.x</a> (W/ <a href="http://www.adobe.com/svg/">Adobe SVG Plugin</a>)
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/">Firefox 1.5.x</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://snapshot.opera.com/">Opera 9.0 Preview 2</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/">Internet Explorer 6</a> (w/ <a href="http://www.adobe.com/svg/">Adobe SVG Plugin</a>)
</li>
</ul>
<p>I am also looking at some experiemental browsers as of March 2006.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/ie7/default.mspx">Internet Explorer 7 beta 2 preview + ASV</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://nightly.webkit.org/">Safari WebKit+SVG Nightly 2006-03-11</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/">Firefox Deerpark Nightly 2006-03-11</a>
</li>
</ul>
<h1> Canvas</h1>
<ul>
<li>
Canvas is defined by the WHATWG in what is known as the
<a href="http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/">Web Applications 1.0 specification</a>
</li>
</ul>
<h2> Supporting Browsers</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Safari 2.0 and above.
</li>
<li>
Opera 9.0 and above.
</li>
<li>
Firefox 1.5 and above.
</li>
</ul>
<h2> Quirks</h2>
<ul>
<li><p> <strong>Safari</strong> will forget a path after <code>fill()</code> or <code>stroke()</code> has
been called. Therefore, if you need to fill and stroke the same
path, you must draw the path out twice.
</p>
</li>
<li><p> <strong>Opera</strong> will not obey <code>stroke()</code> for arc paths.
</p>
</li>
<li><p> <strong>Firefox</strong> and <strong>Opera</strong> will not draw shadows even with
<code>shadowStyle</code> or <code>shadowOffset</code> is set on the context object.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h1> SVG</h1>
<ul>
<li>
SVG support is either provided natively, or through the Adobe SVG
Viewer (ASV).
</li>
</ul>
<h2> Supporting Browsers (Inline)</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Safari 2.0 + ASV
</li>
<li>
Internet Explorer 6 + ASV
</li>
<li>
Safari Webkit+SVG Nightly
</li>
<li>
Opera 9.0 and above
</li>
<li>
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and above
</li>
</ul>
<h2> Quirks (Inline)</h2>
<ul>
<li><p> <strong>Safari Nightly</strong> will not render any <code>text</code> elements when
inlined. (Will do so if using <code>embed</code>)
</p>
</li>
<li><p> <strong>Safari 2.0 + ASV</strong> will not respect inlined SVG.
</p>
</li>
<li><p> <strong>Internet Explorer 6 + ASV</strong> will only parse inlined SVG if the
following is added to the HTML and all SVG elements are in the
correct namespace <code>svg:</code>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p> following is added to the HTML and all SVG elements are in the
correct namespace <code>svg:</code>.
</p>
<pre><code><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

</body>
</html>
</code></pre><ul>
<li><p> <strong>Mozilla Firefox (1.5 and nightly) on Mac</strong> will not render
<code>text</code> elements when inlined. Note that it does for Linux and Windows.
</p>
</li>
<li><p> <strong>Opera 9</strong> will refuse to draw an element if attribute <code>filter</code>
is defined.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p> is defined.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Internet Explorer 7b2p + ASV</strong> will not work with the Adobe SVG Viewer.
</li>
</ul>
