Pretty cool, no? >I am not sure how one would increase the canvas size. Wait, I'm confused. If someone uses SVG for navigation on their site -- say, as navigation buttons containing textual information -- they have to right-click on each image and choose "zoom in" to blow up the image, but it is still constrained by the size of the original graphic?? That's not at _all_ what I was hoping for. I was hoping for the benefits described by members of this list, which state that this is a boon to accessibility by people who have low vision. I have not seen anything to that effect, and in fact it's pretty useless for such a purpose! I can't imagine why you'd have to right-click on every single graphic on a page in order to see it correctly (but in a tiny "window" space!) -- shouldn't it resize according to my browser text size preferences?? I can only assume that I've done something very wrong in how I have installed SVG support in my browser, as none of the supposed benefits of SVG are evident to me. I can't imagine anyone claiming _this_ as an accessibility benefit, so I guess I screwed up somewhere! --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com/ Director of Accessibility, Edapta http://www.edapta.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://www.idyllmtn.com/ AWARE Center Director http://www.awarecenter.org/ What's on my bookshelf? http://kynn.com/books/
