I have recently been experimenting with the W3C specification for online vector graphics, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). This new format will soon become more widely used and has terrific benefits for webmasters. But I don't want to go into all that here, if you want to find out more, go to http://www.adobe.com/svg .
My question is how can I begin implementing these images into my forum?
Because these images currently require a plug-in to the browser to view, I have been using an <object> tag to add the svg, with a nested <img> tag which will display a raster image as an alternative for those who have no plug-in. eg:
This works fine for a web page, excluding only MSIE 3 and NS 2 or below.
I would love to be able to have SVG graphics on my forum, such as my header and icons. Is there any easy way (without editing the code) to add the images as object tags with nested images?
Thanks in advance for your help!
