Had to go here: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/svgtest.html to activate the plug-in and accept the license. No big surprise. So their test SVG graphic works, but then I go to your site and still get no image, but this time I don't even get the scrollbar, just an image placeholder. Do you have any other test pages that I can go to?
Netscape 4.7 AFAIK was the last Netscape browser that was approved for loading on Gov't PCs. We have it here at the USDA and I've seen it at IRS, KC City Gov't and Missouri Unemployment offices. It is actually no longer supported by the Helpdesk, but some transaction sites that government personell deal with, must at least be viewable by Netscape 4.7. Kind of the lowest common denominator, probably because it still works on all the old low end PCs and it came pre-installed for a long while.

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.
Hum. That's very interesting. I just checked it on IE6 6.0.3xxx and it seems to be working; could you check the Adobe[1] web site and see if those work for you? IE will usually generate an empty box with a disabled scroll bar when it encounters an object tag that it doesn't have a plugin for. If it works at Adobe's site then I'll need to tweak my code.

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.
Yea, Firefox 1.5 or greater.
Netscape 4.7 shows nothing
Thanks for testing this one but NS4 is dead. They have <0.1% of the market left.
Netscape 8.0.4 shows text only. No plug-in. Mozilla 1.7.12 shows text only.
Yea, Firefox 1.5 or greater.
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.
Unfortunately, Amaya has lots of problems. If they had more developers they could probably come up with a nice test suite browser.
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.
Cool! Thanks for testing all of these!

Not yet. I am planning on implementing an ECMAScript that probes for IE and replaces the <object> with an <embed>. It may be awhile before I get to that but I'll keep you posted.
