hi paul,<br><br>from: <a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/dojo-in-depth-with-alex-russell">http://ajaxian.com/archives/dojo-in-depth-with-alex-russell</a><br>"First, dojo.gfx now provides a common API to native 2D graphics
across browsers. The API takes advantage of the native SVG support in
Firefox 1.5+ and Opera 9, while still providing functional graphics in
IE. Native SVG support in Safari is also on the way.<br>Second, Alex's demonstration of <a href="http://cometd.com/">cometd</a> was very impressive. Cometd utilizes a publish/subscribe model and offers sub-second notification to browser-based clients."
<br><br>So they seem to be adding safari support...?<br><br>Did you try the version in trunk, it may have more recent code for safari(?)<br><br>Sorry, I don't have a safari browser to test with...<br><br>I also googled this regarding the safari browser: dated June 19, "By the end of this year, Safari - the web browser that comes
included with the Apple Macintosh - will probably also support SVG. If
not this year, then I think surely next year when Leopard (10.5) comes
out - Safari will support SVG." So, maybe this will solve the compatibility problems?<br><br>alan<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/26/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Paul Spencer</b> <<a href="mailto:pspencer@dmsolutions.ca">
