I redact my statements about Chrome 6. Just tried it and it failed to work (I thought I had read some buzz about it). IE9 and Firefox 4 are confirmed to work. IE9 was the first browser to ship a build that supported SVG-in-HTML5 syntax (in April) followed thereafter by a Firefox 4 alpha. As I stated, I believe WebKit nightlies might have this feature turned on, but I haven't yet confirmed. No word from Opera yet :( Jeff On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 5:29 PM, Jeff Schiller <codedread@gmail.com> wrote: > Patience Kevin! :) > > You're making an assumption that all browsers currently support this.
