Hello, I'm doing some test of svg + foreignObject + applets. 
Is anyone interested? 
I've found that the foreignObject positioning is not being 'read' by applets.
Java applets are 'used' to being rendered inline with html. It appears there is no 'smarts' in an applet to obey parent location or relative position.
Is it possible to trick an object into thinking it is being rendered inline, though the origin has been reset to top-left of foreignObject?
Addidtionally, could there be an option to regain focus on load ie: return focus to document when foreignObject has rendered?   ... returnFocus='true'

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Surf to svg page with foreignObject which includes a java applet.
Actual Results:  
Java applet is rendered top-left of svg 'canvas'.

Expected Results:  
Java applet should be rendered within the confines defined by foreignObject.
Please elevate this in your assessments!
It is not blocking, granted.

Though for a real opportunity for the svg world to evolve, there needs to be a transitional path, one where flash is .tolerated. in spite of it.

All best!

Hello Tyler / Triage.
I've just tested with up 2 date 3.5 & 4 pre.
The issue appears worse to me. (Previously I could get rendering with some settings, though not reliably).
Now the applet is invoked though I cannot see it displayed with any setting I attempt. Sorry, do not have server up today, so cannot give url.
The following requires mypic.jpg and lake.class from:
http://www.ibdprince.com/java.shtml

All best!

This 'confirmed'. (By the reporter), (me).
Using Firefox 4.0.1.
The original issue was to do with position.
Now it may be visibility.
As the applet is not visible at all.

The java console reports:

basic: Applet initialized
basic: Removed progress listener: sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPainter$GrayBoxProgressListener@1c13d0b

This is by design. We are deliberately not supporting windowed plugins inside SVG or CSS transforms. We do support windowless plugins in those contexts.

So I will never be able to create an SVG website with embedded Flash? WebKit supports it, what is your reasoning not to?

You should be able to use windowless Flash (wmode=opaque/transparent). In fact, that doesn't work currently, but we will fix that.

It doesn't really except in the most basic cases. I'll attach a testcase.
