TabAtkins: No. SVG doesn't have alpha colors. * ed wonders what this meant: "TabAtkins: No. SVG doesn't have alpha colors." (most if not all browsers already support rgba/hsla syntax in svg colors/gradients, also there's stop-opacity in svg gradients) I just happened to notice the commentary above. I believe Tab was referring to this: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/color.html which links to <color> here: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#DataTypeColor which says # The basic type <color> is a CSS2 compatible specification for a color in the sRGB color space [SRGB<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/refs.html#ref-SRGB>]. In short SVG 1.1's <color> maps to CSS2 (which does not include rgba and hsla) rather than CSS3 (which does).Received on Thursday, 18 August 2011 21:18:02 UTC
