I have read some threads about forcing IE to write svg into a hidden
div in order to create an image on the server.
I was wondering if anyone has come up with a solution?

IE uses a different spec called vml. raphael translates, creating a
cross browser solution by making svg for firefox/opera and vml for IE

Hi all

this is a shameless plug for my home page.

However, I think it's mutually beneficial for all Raphael users and
frustrated SVG'ers!

This home page is 69K, it's not meant to be a complete work of art
however note the following.

(1)It's 69K but it loads like lightening.
(2)It's got only 1 tiny image on it.
(3)My favourite browser to see it loading in is IE, because it opens
just a quick but you might notice the page being "painted" towards
it's end as the user starts reading the content.

The page itself is a 'hybrid' of W3C SVG recommendations and Raphael,
it uses a special loading technique that leaves the browser free
enough to complete it's other work whilst loading.

All you have got to do is become relatively proficient at Inkscape and
join the Clip-art library (Creative commons).

Then start selling it to your clients/employers.

I will write it up and put it on the Research page, but feel free to
plagiarize! (As usual doing 50 other things)

Regards and good projects >Charles (Home page: http://www.irunmywebsite.com/)
