Using SVG
jacob | 19 February, 2010 06:59
I've been working a lot with SVG a lot lately, and you know what? It would be really handy to have a SVG-like format that could be embedded via the img tag.
Hell, I'd even use the SVG format we have today inside an image tag, if I could. Note to self: find out why that isn't allowed.
Okay, now I need to get back to being late for work.

SVGs get added to html with the object tag. In xhtml, an svg can be added inline; which should allow for better DOM manipulation.
That too

What Jezra said too.
SVG as an object in the HTML means you can do fancy vector editing like Flash, albeit with greater difficulty in JavaScript.
Can you not?

SVG files can be read like any other image file as long as the browser supports it.
Inkscape does some funny things with the SVG but if you save it as a plain SVG it will work in Firefox.
You tend not to use it online for IE compatibility, but there is nothing wrong with using the format.
