Re: [Dynapi-Chat] DHTML? SVG!

[Richard B. <ric...@sk...>]

Hi,
I'm helping Kevin with his SVgUI form replacement widgets, using
custom-namespaces inside SVG files, and it has been setup as a SF project,
although no files have been released yet.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/svgui/

I don't think the plugin is a problem actually, PDF took off, even though it
needs a plugin, and the SVG plugin is distributed with the PDF plugin, and
with Real-player (amongst many other products) .

I am also using SVG in a commercial project , that plots GPS data over a map
in (buffered) real-time, online.
From this work I think SVG will not replace DHTML anytime soon, in fact, I
think it will stimulate libraries like DynAPI, because it is a very powerful
tool, as a drawing board, but lacks many things we take for granted in
DHTML, and some elements are not up to scratch, performance-wise (SMIL
animation for instance).
 I find it works best when combined with DynAPI-style DHTML elements.
Another tool in the toolbox, alongside DHTML, Flash, XML etc etc.

Cheers,
Richard.
