Thoughts? Chris, Thoughts? Quite straightforward in my view - SVG should provide scroll bars for use where it is desired / appropriate. Omitting them was a major faux pas in my view. The omission of automatic scroll bars in a desktop environment removes, wholly unnecessarily, a useful and powerful navigation metaphor in standalone SVG. If, as I understand it, some users wish not to have scroll bars (I don't recall having heard a convincing argument for that position) then by all means provide a switch to turn them off. Please, please, please fix this omission! Andrew WattReceived on Friday, 11 April 2003 04:28:37 GMT
