Hello Kari, Friday, March 14, 2014, 11:20:56 AM, you wrote: > I would like to get a clarification to the sentence "All others > will be bypassed and therefore not rendered." in the switch element. > What does "will be bypassed" mean? > This question was actually asked already years ago: > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2005Jul/0042.html - without a proper answer. I agree that the language in the spec should clearly define what is meant. You seem to be imagining physical removal from the DOM, while "not rendered" is the intention here. > I tested the bypassed elements on browsers: > - the bypassed elements seem to be in the DOM tree Yes. The other elements are not physically removed from the DOM. Conditions on the switch may be dynamic and thus the branch which evaluates to true may change over time. > - CSS selectors seem to always match them (e.g., the :first-child selector) yes, as a consequence of their being in the DOM. > - content (image href) seems to always be loaded > - animations are run > - scripts are run > yes (same reason) although it would be useful to be able to have finer grained control over media loading on non-rendered children of switch (and on elements with display: none in general). > - events (onmouseover, what about others?) are not fired (because the element is not rendered?) yes, and that is indeed the reason. > - a use element referencing a "not-rendered" element seems not to render it yes (same reason) > - bounding boxes are inconsistent between browser The bbox should be that of a non-rendered element (display: none). > - bounding boxes do not contribute to the parent bounding box Correct. Thanks for your careful testing. The results (except for the bbox variability) are as expected. > Looks like only the rendering is affected. There isn't really any "bypassing". Is that true? That was the original intent of the spec wording. Given that you find it confusing and also given that bypassing means the same thing as not rendered, i suggest the following improved wording (this would be an SVG 1.1 erratum and a change to SVG2): All others will not be rendered (as if the display property were set to none.) Would that clarification address your comment? > 2014-03-14 9:59 GMT+02:00 Kari Pihkala <kari.pihkala@gmail.com>: > > Hi, > The postpone attribute in Resource Priorities checks that the > display attribute isn't 'none' and "the bounding box of the element > is inside the User Agent's interpretation of the Document's viewport". > > https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Proposals/ResourcePriorities_for_SVG > > The switch element defines: ".. processes and renders the first > child for which these attributes evaluate to true.
