User(s) can reproduce this bug
Support for inline SVG (i.e. using tags in the SVG namespace in an (X)HTML page) would be useful:
* for small images (same as data: URIs)
* for images that can be modified by scripts (cross-browser alternative to <canvas>)
* on-the-fly server-generated images (much easier than bitmaps or external vector images).

Thank you for the suggestion. We will consider this in a future release of IE.

Best Regards,

Could we then at least get the VML support back? There is no way of doing any type of vectorgraphics. This is an integral part of any map website today, including your own http://maps.live.com.

I'm certain some form of vector graphics will be in IE8 final. Otherwise things like Live Maps would stop working properly.

lfourquaux, could you re-activate this bug for consideration in IE9? According to the IE Beta Feedback Connect Homepage, they're in the planning stages right now for IE9. SVG is something I'd really like to see considered!

ShadowChaser: Reactivated.

I certainly could use SVG and Canvas functionality in IE for the users I develop for. Creating a version in SVG and then another in Silverlight is simply out of the question. Currently we use Adobe Flash but have evaluated the alternatives and find SVG and Canvas to be the simplest and, by far, most efficient way to generate the simple internet apps we require.
