What is a good alternative to SVG in IE7?

Question

I have a graph rendered in web by means of embedded <svg> object. Works properly in Firefox, Safari and other browsers. Except IE7+. What is a good alternative to SVG for IE? The graph is very simple, and uses just lines, circles, and texts.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi Vincenzo, while doing a quick search on google regarding this I came across a fix from MS which is from 2008. Have you tried this already?

Answer 2

IE (except for the upcoming IE9) does not support SVG. You can do it with a plugin, but that's probably a bit much to ask for your end-users to install.

If you don't mind a little extra work, IE does support VML which is "kind of" like SVG, just IE-only.

Here are a couple of options:

• http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/ (SVG/Flash)
• http://raphaeljs.com (SVG/VML)
• http://www.amplesdk.com/ (SVG/VML)
• http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/ (SVG/VML) (can also be used together with SVGWeb)
• http://blog.conquex.com/?p=64 (SVG/VML)
