Implementing SVG on the internet.

Good to Go!


Lamp systems good to go.

Lamp systems or standard web server accounts need only upload svg files and select the method that they wish for browsers to get the data.

SVG Web can be used by uploading the script and attached flash and behaviors, the script includes a test to confirm the MIMI types are set up correctly. Setting them up can be done with the .htaccess file.

Inline SVG can be supported by using SVG within the correct file doctype and mimi type ... see table below.

CMS systems and iframes

Iframes work well to embed SVG files. Which can be downloaded as XML files. XML file type is know to most servers so the MIMI type is good.

CMS systems not so nimble


Using Google's SVGweb

Google's svgweb provides support for 95% of web browsers. However, in some cases one needs to use flash to support these browsers. Social media sites unless they specifically have support for SVGweb installed on the server do not support SVGweb, it is a browser security issue that flash only accesses data from the site that the flash program was downloaded from. People using CMS systems will need specific changes made to the CMS system to allow SVGweb to operate.

Inline SVG

Inline SVG can be used on <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> pages. However the browser support for inline text is for xml pages; see chart below.
