RE: Embedding SVG - need help

Interesting... After looking at the test page on several browsers including IE9 I have a couple questions about section 7.2:

1) Based on the language in the spec I don't see how IFRAME should behave differently than OBJECT/EMBED, but browsers such as Opera that do not show scrollbars in the first or second row for OBJECT and EMBED still do for IFRAME.

2) If the width and height of the containing OBJECT/EMBED/IFRAME element always overrides what is specified on the outermost SVG element, how would a developer embed an SVG document that's large and intended to be scrolled?

As an aside, there are a similar set of inconsistencies across browsers when the size is left off the containing OBJECT, EMBED, IFRAME, and IMG elements.

Thanks,
- Tony

I don't have the time to read the other replies in this thread right now, but here's my take:

For me on Mac, Mozilla nightly and Opera 10.61 show the same thing in all rows except the second row. Mozilla has the <object> and <embed> entries in this row wrong - scrollbars should not be displayed because SVG 1.1 says the width/height of the referenced SVG file is overridden in these cases:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/coords.html#ViewportSpace

IMO Opera has the <img> entry in this row wrong, since for <img> too the width/height of the referenced SVG should be overridden by the width/height of the <img>. I imagine Erik may disagree with me on this one case though.

IMO both browsers otherwise behave as the specs require them too.
