SVG installed successfully BUT into IE not Firefox where its needed!

[R***@adobeforums.com]

Hi. As you read I've installed by default following of the automated wizard, SVG and it works with Internet Explorer but not with Firefox obviously because the "plugins" are not found. They haven't been installed there which is where I wanted them.

My dilemma is...

SO how do I get these plugins which I've located successfully to be installed in for Firefox? [the procedure & what needs to be transferred]

Or alternatively, how do I go about Firefox to install this plugin.

The browser I use and require it for is Mozilla Firefox 1.5
My machine is running Windows XP SP 2

I hope somebody can help quick as I need some info which is on a website for a science project which doesn't load correctly due to this probelm.

Many thanks in advance! :)

I've recently gone through the saga of getting SVG written for the adobe plug-in (that works with IE) to work with Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 does support SVG. It does not require a plug in.

My experience was that the SVG displayed correctly, but that none of my scripts worked. If your SVG doesn't display at all, then I would imagine there is a problem with your SVG which the Adobe svg viewer (ASV) is tolerant of. Firefox requires a header to the SVG which I know that ASV doesn't require. I don't remember which line is important but my svg files now start:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ... blah blah

Once you get an image to display you may find that any scripting doesn't work. If you don't use any scripting then this won't be a problem. In general any functions getXXX (such as getTarget()) you can replace by accessing the property directly (eg target). There are some other hurdles to jump through, but the JavaScript console provided by Firefox will list every error it encounters - just work through the list.

Hope this helps.

Rob,

There are instructions on installing the Adobe SVG viewer into Firefox and configuring Firefox to use the viewer at:

Yes many thanks Brian and Irv!

At the installation of Corel SVG for Firefox - nothing functioned on a website I visited due to it specifically requiring Adobe SVG.
Running Corel SVG didn't display any multimedia.

So I checked Javascript and funnily there were dispatch errors in the first line of script which were the problem.

I couldn't find a way around it so I followed Irv's link and copied the zip and dll file over to Firefox folder and voila!

Yes it works - but its not the same as in IE. The pictures are not clickable which they are in IE under Adobe SVG.

This is sufficient for my tasks so once again, thank you to both for responding so fast! :)
