SVG for IE via Google?

Posted in Hat Talk on August 24th, 2009 by doctormo

I know this story is a bit old, but I thought I’d share it anyway. Google have been working on a way to show svg content via flash to browsers that don’t have svg support (Read: Internet Explorer) and they do this via javascript so the developers don’t need to focus too hard on deployment differences between clients.

For me this is interesting for my map work and some other svg works. Especially since it makes it easier to argue for the use of svg, even if for now it ends with flash being used. What we need in the SVG world is leverage.

Thoughts?
