[Dynapi-Chat] DHTML? SVG!

[Scott A. L. <sc...@sc...>]

DynAPI Folk,

Happy new year to all.

I found this very interesting.  Its a collection of DynAPI-like GUI 
widgets, except all done with SVG instead of layers/DIVs.  It looks like 
it uses a JavaScript API to manipulate the DOM of an embedded SVG object.

You'll need the Adobe SVG Viewer plug-in to play with it.  I 
particularly like the *diagonal* slider bars:

It's my opinion that this kind of stuff won't take off until the 
majority of browsers in use support SVG natively without a plug-in.  If 
that ever happens, the days of DHTML widgetry may be over.
