[Xsltforms-support] CSS style Output and SVG (IE 8, Firefox and Chrome)

[David F. <da...@so...>]

I am trying to output an SVG image through xlstforms clientside (following
the example of http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XForms/SVG).

With Firefox 3.6 ,Firefox 4.0 and Chrome, nothing I do seems to affect the
size of the output resulting in horizontal and vertical sliders being
applied when actual image is larger than space assumed. A minimal test
example is available here
http://soundings01.appspot.com/xsltforms/xfsvg4.xml
The default image size also varies depending on browser. Chrome shows a
smaller portion of the image than Firefox (4 beta 12). Inspecting the
element in Chrome shows span.xforms-value of 300x19.

IE 8 appears to be constrained by the style width and height so that if the
width/height are less than the image dimensions the top left corner of the
image alone is visible with no sliders added (see
http://soundings01.appspot.com/xsltforms/xfsvg5.xml) but if the image is
smaller than the styling width height, the full image is seen. The rendering
appears to be done by silverlight in this instance.

I am looking for consistent behaviour and a better understanding of how to
work around any differences. Any pointers?
Thanks
David

Hi David,

I think this might be a mix of SVG and XForms questions.

I am using the SVGWeb JavaScript library that gives me more consistent SVG
rendering on most platforms.

See: http://code.google.com/p/svgweb

The User Manual here shows how to get consistent sizing behavior even on IE
6, 7 and 8 which is automatically converted to flash.

I have had very good success using the JQuery slider control to create
interactive SVG applications but unfortunatly I have had to use JavaScript
to do this.  I am hoping that eventually XSLTforms has range control
support.

I have a few demos here:

Hello David,

Cross-browser SVG sizing is still not well supported in XSLTForms. I'm 
afraid it won't be a priority soon. SVG within XSLTForms has just been 
considered as a proof case for graphs generated from graph2svg.xsl at 
client-side 
http://www.svgopen.org/2010/papers/14-Dynamic_SVG_graphs_for_XForms/.

About SVGWeb, I have to admit I was disappointed. With graphs again, the 
rendering wasn't as good as with native SVG, especially about dotted 
lines. The XML document has to be in the default namespace because 
prefix use is not supported, not even "svg:". I proposed my own patch 
for prefix support but it was rejected by the SVGWeb team 
http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/issues/detail?id=454 :-(

Are you in a hurry about good SVG sizing support?

Thanks!
