Aloha ! We are about to convert one of our tools over to the new SVG standard,. It was originally designed with VML quite a wile ago. (yes, a LONG time ago) In doing research to do the conversion, one thing that is causing us to stop in our tracks is the lack of support for Z-index. Yes, I fully understand the "painting" concept of first on, on the bottom. But that seems a limited concept considering all of the millions of types of potential applications out there. For instance, our tool is a sort of user driven dynamic CAD tool. we place object on the screen, but there are times where we need to grab an object and move it up a layer, or move it to the front of other objects, or move it behind other objects - All on the fly. Using VML this was easily done with Z-index. I am somewhat stunned that this appears to have been ignored with SVG. Are there plans to correct this flaw ? Or am i missing something where this same functionality exists ? ______________________________________________________________________ Have a computer you are no longer using ?
