using mozSVG native to view the W3C SVG test suite.
displays plugin needed graphic rather than SVG graphics




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open test suite in mozSVG native browser
2.

Actual Results:  
broken plugin needed graphic displayed

Expected Results:

this seems to be common to many of the test suite examples.
in the instance of the given example the graphic can be loaded and displayed
directly:

however the interactivity is broken (bubbling) this has been logged as an
additional bug.

Marking INVALID

Compare the User-Agent string from your build with the date mentioned here:

jwatt, as I understand it the link you provided refers to embed using a plugin
presumably asv3 for instance. however I was using mozSVG native, so a plugin
should not be required.

I've tested this example with 2004112105 and the nightly build requires a plugin.

this bug doesn't refer to the need for plugins, where one is needed, but rather
where one isnt needed, eg mozSVG native.

If I have misunderstood, and in fact there is now a mozSVG native nightly build,
please accept my apologies and provide a pointer.

cheers

Remarking INVALID

The link I gave you refers to builds with native SVG support. They will now
handle SVG content included by reference into HTML documents using the
<html:embed> tag, so you won't need a plug-in. In fact it will be ignored now
even if you install it. Nightly builds for Windows with native SVG support built
in are contributed by David. See
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/contrib/latest-trunk/
