[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers.Layer.WMS - using SVG Format?

Fri Dec 14 22:37:47 PST 2012

Using OpenLayers.Layer.WMS to add a WMS SVG (image/svg+xml) format layer
should work fine for modern browsers.  I've successfully added WMS SVG
layers using OpenLayers.Layer.WMS where the layer tiles are added to the
map based either on the <img> tag or the <iframe> tag.  You might just need
to have <!DOCTYPE html> at the top of your page for versions of IE that
support SVG.

In non standard cases where your WMS produces a non-static or an interactive
SVG layer, or an SVG layer that has external styling for example, then you
might consider trying OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.InlineXhtml from the InlineXhtml
Addin.

Regards,

Harris.
