Jeff's SVG theme

Jeff Schiller: I use SVG in a bunch of different places:  inline as decoration around the page (the blue gradient and the title) and referenced (via <object>) for the icon menu (at the top) and W3C validation badges (at the bottom).

Very cool.  A web site that is amenable to view-source down to the validation buttons themselves.

I echo the comment commending Opera’s leadership in this area.

That’s nice. I’ve always fantasized about serving my HTML with the right mime type and using SVG on ordinary websites. Unfortunately, if you watch the website in Firefox 2 and Opera 9.2 you recognize how buggy those state of the art browsers are when it comes to newer web standards.

Thanks, Sam.

@ahe: Yep - initially designed with the ‘next wave’ of browsers in mind (Firefox 3, Opera 9.5, WebKit nightlies), I’ve since tweaked my CSS and XHTML to handle some particulars of the current set of browsers - might require a forced refresh.  It’s better now, but not perfect...

/me notes that I serve XHTML with the right mime type and with SVG on every post.  Have done so for years.

I do, however, have two images.

As to browsers with bugs, I think that is true in general for HTML, CSS, etc., even down to the level of <abbr> tag on certain versions of IE.
