I haven’t tried it out yet, simply because all the browsers on all of my machines support SVG (Internet Explorer with the Adobe plugin, of course). I might actually uninstall ASV on one of my machines just to see how his library works.

I had some time to spare today, and wrote a good bit of code for the project. it is now basically usable, so I think it's worth a new blog post! well!

I've decided to start from the lowest common denominator - browsers that don't have any Canvas analogy. to help that, I'll be using <a href="http://www.walterzorn.com/jsgraphics/jsgraphics_e.htm" rel="nofollow">Walter Zorn's JSGraphics library</a>. You can follow my progress by periodically checking <a href="http://demo.verens.com/js-svg/js-svg.html" rel="nofollow">this page</a> in a browser that does not support SVG.

I haven't studied it, but I was aware of it. You know, implementing SVG in JavaScript may be easier than it seems! Because of that IE hack, and Canvas support in Konqueror and Firefox, it looks like this is going to be pretty straightforward! I wasn't able to start on it yesterday (was installing Fedora Core 4 on the boss's laptop - finally, I'm making a difference ;-) ), but will hopefully get some work done on this tonight. Yes.

Any Optimization that only work with Firefox and Opera is nice, but will not be noticed by most users. I guess that for displaying Icons a rather simple subset of SVG would be enough. @ Phillip Bogle:

This is less work than reauthoring the icons as SVG.
