[OT] dynamic resolution web sites

[Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO]

On my work PC, I can't view this image on IE
6.0.2800.1106xpsp2.050301-1526 after installing Adobe's SVG viewer.  I
do see that there is a box with a disabled scrollbar and I see the text.

I have Firefox 1.07 also, which doesn't have a plug-in AFAIK.  I don't
want to update this browser until it comes out of Beta.
Mozilla 1.7.8 shows text only.
K-Meleon 0.9 shows text only.
Netscape 4.7 shows nothing
Netscape 8.0.4 shows text only.  No plug-in.
Mozilla 1.7.12 shows text only.
Amaya 9.2.2 shows text only.  It is supposed to be able to show SVG, but
it doesn't like that image on your site.

Opera 8.5  Success!!  This is the only browser that actually shows the
image for me.  And it scales!!  I didn't have a previous version of
Opera installed to test, so I don't know how new this feature is.

Some of you may remember that some time ago we discussed making websites

in Flash. At the time I strongly objected and suggested that some day 
SVG would be able to handle the resolution independent rendering which 
Flash offers without all the accessibility problems. Well I'm very 
excited to share that I think that day has finally arrived (or almost 
has).

Firefox 1.5 RC1 was released today and with it comes support for SVG. 
This adds to the list of browsers supporting SVG: Opera and Konqueror 
which is a total of roughly 13% of the browser market. Add to that the 
IE Adobe SVG Plugin for IE6 (85%) and the picture starts to look pretty 
rosy.

I have put up a proof of concept at [1]. Please give it a good work-out.

It will not work in Konqueror <3.4, Opera <8 or Firefox <1.5. IE 6 
doesn't allow rescaling fonts but it does display the content 
correctly.

I strongly feel that this is the future of the web and I'm looking 
forward to playing around with HTML+SVG. Let me know your thoughts!
