Maybe OT?

by Verde Denim :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

I'm running 8.04 LTS 64 bit server and added the desktop and a few tools, including Sun Netbeans 6.7.
I built a quick page using a couple of the jMaki widgets, one of which is the dojo clock. On opening the page in FF (from Ubu repository),
a message appears telling me that FF does not support SVG/VML.
Does anyone know if this Is due to the version of FF in the repo? I have found a couple of instances of this in googling, but they all end saying that FF 3+ has SVG support at least.

Thanks, as always, for the input.

Regards

Jack

firefox has supported SVG since v1.5 see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/
VML is not related to SVG.
VML is Microsoft developed for internet explorer

Tom
I appreciate the reply. I agree with you that FF does support SVG, as I found in my searches. But what puzzles me is the message. It says that I need a browser that supports this, and am running FF 3.0.11 (from Ubuntu repo). I can't find a reason why this message would appear. If it isn't the version of FF from the Ubuntu repo, then maybe it's a 'feature' of NB 6.7 with jMaki?

Thanks for the input.

Jack

Check in about:config svg and see if it is set for true.

I don't think firefox svg support has all the features of the adobe svg
plugin viewer.

I found that there are some svg images on Ford's technical site as well
as alldata and I never did get firefox to show these diagrams.  They
specifically required adobe svg plugin in IE on Windows.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked it -
svg.enabled    default    boolean    true

So, the browser does, in fact, have support for it... I wonder if it's NB 6.7 and jMaki widgets that has the problem?
Unless there's something else in the Linux environment that could stop it, I don't think it's a Linux/Ubuntu problem at all.

Thanks as always for the help...

Regards

Jack
