52 | <h1> State of SVG and Canvas in Modern Browsers</h1> | |
53 | <p> <strong>By: Alastair Tse - Last Updated: 27 April 2006</strong> | |
54 | </p> | |
55 | <p>My friends, just like HTML and CSS, different browsers support | |
56 | different subsections of the SVG and Canvas specification. As part of | |
57 | my work on PlotKit, the next generation javascript plotting library, | |
58 | I've decided to summarise all the quirks in SVG and Canvas support. | |
59 | </p> | |
60 | ||
61 | <h1> Browsers Considered</h1> | |
62 | <p>I am looking at browsers that are considered "modern" as of | |
63 | March 2006. These include: | |
64 | </p> | |
65 | <ul> | |
66 | <li> | |
67 | <a href="http://apple.com/safari/">Safari 2.0.x</a> (W/ <a href="http://www.adobe.com/svg/">Adobe SVG Plugin</a>) | |
68 | </li> | |
69 | ||
70 | <li> | |
71 | <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/">Firefox 1.5.x</a> | |
72 | </li> | |
73 | ||
74 | <li> | |
75 | <a href="http://snapshot.opera.com/">Opera 9.0 Preview 2</a> | |
76 | </li> | |
77 | ||
78 | <li> | |
79 | <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/">Internet Explorer 6</a> (w/ <a href="http://www.adobe.com/svg/">Adobe SVG Plugin</a>) | |
80 | </li> | |
81 | </ul> | |
82 | <p>I am also looking at some experiemental browsers as of March 2006. | |
83 | </p> | |
84 | <ul> | |
85 | <li> | |
86 | <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/ie7/default.mspx">Internet Explorer 7 beta 2 preview + ASV</a> | |
87 | </li> | |
88 | ||
89 | <li> | |
90 | <a href="http://nightly.webkit.org/">Safari WebKit+SVG Nightly 2006-03-11</a> | |
91 | </li> | |
92 | ||
93 | <li> | |
94 | <a href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/">Firefox Deerpark Nightly 2006-03-11</a> | |
95 | </li> | |
96 | </ul> | |
97 | ||
98 | <h1> Canvas</h1> | |
99 | <ul> | |
100 | <li> | |
101 | Canvas is defined by the WHATWG in what is known as the | |
102 | <a href="http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/">Web Applications 1.0 specification</a> | |
103 | </li> | |
104 | </ul> | |
105 | ||
106 | <h2> Supporting Browsers</h2> | |
107 | <ul> | |
108 | <li> | |
109 | Safari 2.0 and above. | |
110 | </li> | |
111 | ||
112 | <li> | |
113 | Opera 9.0 and above. | |
114 | </li> | |
115 | ||
116 | <li> | |
117 | Firefox 1.5 and above. | |
118 | </li> | |
119 | </ul> | |
120 | ||
121 | <h2> Quirks</h2> | |
122 | <ul> | |
123 | <li><p> <strong>Safari</strong> will forget a path after <code>fill()</code> or <code>stroke()</code> has | |
124 | been called. Therefore, if you need to fill and stroke the same | |
125 | path, you must draw the path out twice. | |
126 | </p> | |
127 | ||
128 | </li> | |
129 | ||
130 | <li><p> <strong>Opera</strong> will not obey <code>stroke()</code> for arc paths. | |
131 | </p> | |
132 | ||
133 | </li> | |
134 | ||
135 | <li><p> <strong>Firefox</strong> and <strong>Opera</strong> will not draw shadows even with | |
136 | <code>shadowStyle</code> or <code>shadowOffset</code> is set on the context object. | |
137 | </p> | |
138 | ||
139 | </li> | |
140 | </ul> | |
141 | ||
142 | <h1> SVG</h1> | |
143 | <ul> | |
144 | <li> | |
145 | SVG support is either provided natively, or through the Adobe SVG | |
146 | Viewer (ASV). | |
147 | </li> | |
148 | </ul> | |
149 | ||
150 | <h2> Supporting Browsers (Inline)</h2> | |
151 | <ul> | |
152 | <li> | |
153 | Safari 2.0 + ASV | |
154 | </li> | |
155 | ||
156 | <li> | |
157 | Internet Explorer 6 + ASV | |
158 | </li> | |

160 | <li> | |
161 | Safari Webkit+SVG Nightly | |
162 | </li> | |
163 | ||
164 | <li> | |
165 | Opera 9.0 and above | |
166 | </li> | |
167 | ||
168 | <li> | |
169 | Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and above | |
170 | </li> | |
171 | </ul> | |
172 | ||
173 | <h2> Quirks (Inline)</h2> | |
174 | <ul> | |
175 | <li><p> <strong>Safari Nightly</strong> will not render any <code>text</code> elements when | |
176 | inlined. (Will do so if using <code>embed</code>) | |
177 | </p> | |
178 | ||
179 | </li> | |
180 | ||
181 | <li><p> <strong>Safari 2.0 + ASV</strong> will not respect inlined SVG. | |
182 | </p> | |
183 | ||
184 | </li> | |
185 | ||
186 | <li><p> <strong>Internet Explorer 6 + ASV</strong> will only parse inlined SVG if the | |
187 | following is added to the HTML and all SVG elements are in the | |
188 | correct namespace <code>svg:</code>. | |
189 | </p> | |
