Mozilla Gets (Beta) Native SVG support

Posted by timothy on from the so-check-it-out-and-complain-constructively dept.

Rushuru writes "Mozilla is getting a beta native SVG support. Previously one had to use 3rd party plugins such as that from Adobe, and they only worked on windows. SVG is similar in scope to Flash, but it is a W3 recommendation (i.e. a standard) and uses an open format. The project page has more info."

    Read this: The Document Object Model (DOM) for SVG, which includes the full XML DOM, allows for straightforward and efficient vector graphics animation via scripting.

    That's like saying you can make animations with HTML just because you can access HTML tags through the DOM and script them.
