1 Minute Intro to SVG Web + Demos

A very quick one minute run-through showing the SVG Web project and it's demos. The SVG Web project is at http://code.google.com/p/svgweb

SVG Web is a JavaScript library which provides SVG support on many browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Using the library plus native SVG support you can instantly target ~95% of the existing installed web base.

Once dropped in you get partial support for SVG 1.1, SVG Animation (SMIL), Fonts, Video and Audio, DOM and style scripting through JavaScript, and more in about a 60K library. Your SVG content can be embedded directly into normal HTML 5 or through the OBJECT tag. If native SVG support is already present in the browser than that is used, though you can override this and have the SVG Web toolkit handle things instead. No downloads or plugins are necessary other than Flash which is used for the actual rendering, so its very easy to use and incorporate into an existing web site.

@vasedeny the newest trend to my knowledge is canvas using svg.

[mermonkey]

nice! hopefully this can bridge the gap for me from the Adobe SVG plug-in to general IE9 adoption!

i'm really glad to see that IE usage is going under 10% around the world. the day is near, when tidy says no errors, the sitebuilder is done.

i'm looking forward the same change in os statictics.

i want to know what to learn :D

Are you tryinh to hint to something? are you advocating Silverlight? :-(

[EnavSounds]

hahha you are right

[vasedeny]

svg? canvas? svg? canvas?

which one is the new trend?

[duckmonsterX]

Woooo i wonder if the SVG can be fully embedded in the HTML here. Theres so much potential in SVG to break the net out of its 'boxy' nature, but it was never able to be realised because MS quite pigheadedly refused to support it..

One more proof that coders like electronic music.
