XML with SVG

[Tripredacus-X]

I am trying to implement an HTML free website design. I have the XM part working fine, but I am having difficulty trying to figure out ho to use SVG with it.

I would like one of two things:

1. To build an interface that allows SVGs to load appropriately base on a button that is clicked. This method requires me to embed the SV onto the XML page, or to reference another XML file in the main one.

2. To have the SVG load in another window. I currently have it set as link with _blank target.

While the SVG in question loads fine offline, it loads as code online The page in question is here:

The link is the one entitled "box pic." The file is located here:

Is there something I need to add to the SVG to get it to load properly Something with the standalone tag? Note that this SVG was generated b Adobe VectorEye.

Any help would be appreciated

You need to configure the web server to send out the proper Content-Type header for .svg files, as far as I remember it is image/svg+xml. But be aware that relying on SVG to show graphics is a bit bold as not every browser has the proper plugin installed.

Your Apache 2.0.40 sends the SVG document with "Content-Type:
text/xml". Set the correct MIME type image/svg+xml in mime.types or a ..htaccess file:

AddType image/svg+xml svg
AddType image/svg+xml svgz

Cool, thanks. i sent this to the webhost admin. He will try to chang it for me. Eventually i want to move my site to a .net host but I d not have the money for that yet!

One question about the code you have on your site, would there be an issues to use the "external picture" code within an XML doc
