IE support question

Hello !

I worked out a small starter chart with ProtoVis and all browsers
[FF, Safari, Chrome, Opera] show fine and update live. I skipped
ProtoVis earlier, because I am not good in javascript and thought,
it is too complex for me. It is exciting!
I have not expected that IE usually will do [and does not], but I've
expected, that IE9 - which should have build-in SVG support - do.
But does'nt. Anyone experience with it? From the conformance-tests,
which I saw, it should be the most HTML5 compatible browser [?!!].

A comment/experience would be fine. I do not need IE at this
time ;-)

Thanks and best
regards, ++mabra

We've been using it with IE9 in svg mode with no major issues so far. As
expected (in theory!) it just works

Mabra, are you using <!DOCTYPE html>? IE9 is in "quirks" mode by
default, and you need the HTML5 doctype to enable standards mode:
