SVG Viewer

I'm running Dapper 6.06LTS (gnome)... I was looking through
packages.ubuntu for a viewer plug-in to firefox for SVG
viewing.  I
didn't find much (other than the gimp plug-in), and was
wondering if
this would work with firefox, or should I get the Adobe
plug-in ?

I should clarify.  I'm running FF 1.5.0.8 on Dapper.  I came
across a
site which threw up a message asking me about getting an SVG
viewer
plug-in.  Reading through the link (above), it all points to
ff 2.0
"...Firefox 2 continues to make progress toward a
broader implementation
of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) functionality. The only
new feature
added above the support in Firefox 1.5 is <textPath>,
though a number of
specification and bug fixes have also been incorporated --
see below."

Since the link to the bug fixes exclusively deal with ff
2.0, I am lead
to believe that either little or no support for SVG is
available in ff
1.5.x .

Not sure about "dead" ... On the link to adobe -
"Adobe customer support
for Adobe SVG Viewer will be discontinued on January 1,
2008."

If what I read on the Moz link is correct, there isn't
support for SVG
in ff 1.5.x, and none will be available until ff 2.0 is
released in
2007, meaning that the only browser which would support
would be (yikes)
IE ?

hmm,

svg _definetly_ works on ff1.5+, otherwise i wouldnt done my
site
http://osku.de (no it doesnt do
anything) and you could allso test the
examples here: http://www.croc
zilla.com/svg/samples/

i assume the site youre trying, wants explicit a (adobe?)
svg plugin.
thats why it doesnt work with build-in svg support...

read again "The only new feature added above the
support in Firefox 1.5
is <textPath>" that means ff1.5 has all the
features on the list expect
textpath...

and allmost forgot my tests with ff1.5
http://osku.de/svg/g
ui-examples/

cheers
andre

ps. iirc, opera has even better (complete) support on
(build-in) svg
than ff (animation etc...)
