Jump to: navigation, search

The following tables compare SVG compatibility and support for a number of layout engines. Please see the individual products' articles for further information. This article is not all-inclusive or necessarily up-to-date. Unless otherwise specified in footnotes, comparisons are based on the stable versions without any add-ons, extensions or external programs.

[edit] Explanation of the tables

[edit] Engine nomenclature

Rather than the names of web browsers, the names of the underlying engines are used. The browsers that use the various engines are listed below.

Layout Engine	Used By
Trident	Internet Explorer and other Internet Explorer shells
Tasman	Internet Explorer for Mac; MSN for Mac OS X
Gecko	All Mozilla software, including Firefox; SeaMonkey; Galeon; Camino; K-Meleon; Flock; also Epiphany-gecko
WebKit	Safari; Google Chrome; Shiira; iCab 4; experimentally Epiphany; Adobe Air; Midori; OmniWeb; Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
KHTML	Konqueror
Presto	Opera; Opera Mobile, Nintendo DS Browser; Internet Channel; future Adobe Systems products
iCab	iCab 1-3
Prince XML	Prince XML
Amaya	Amaya

Adobe SVG Viewer, Batik, DENG (XML Browser Engine), eSVG and Renesis are SVG-Plugins.

[edit] Values

Values indicate the level of support in the most recent version of the layout engine, or (if a version number is given) in the specified version. Version numbers without any other value indicate the version at which the layout engine first fully supported the feature.

Value	Meaning
Yes	Indicates that the layout engine fully supports this property/element when valid values are used.
No	Indicates that the property/element is completely ignored.
Partial	Indicates that the property/element is understood, but that not all values are supported. Supported values are implemented correctly.
Incorrect	Indicates that the property/element is understood, but that it is not implemented correctly in all cases.
Experimental	Indicates that the property/element is provided in experimental form under an alternative name, generally with only partial functionality.

[edit] SVG version support

Note: Trident, Tasman and iCab (before version 4) do not support SVG natively, but requires third-party plugins, thus are not listed.

[edit] Gecko general overview notes

SVG — Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 support a subset of SVG 1.1.^[1] Firefox 3 support many more features.^[2]

[edit] KHTML general overview notes

KHTML — Does not have any native image support. This is by design: in Konqueror, multimedia files are handled by KParts. The KDE project also developed an SVG plugin for Konqueror, known as KSVG.^[3]

[edit] Presto general overview notes

SVG Basic — Presto 9.0 has added quite large, but incomplete SVGB support.

[edit] embedding

This tables show the support of SVG images embedded in Homepages.

[edit] Gecko notes

font — SVG Font [5] is not supported.

[edit] Renesis notes

font-face — Renesis 0.7 supports that feature, but because of the rewrite of the plugin Renesis 1.0 doesn't support this any longer.
