If I put the SVG like an object it works fine (only console errors on chrome about mime types etc): www.bunquer.com
I want to put this like a background, but in that case the pattern inside the mountains doesn't loads why?

Thanks in advance
When SVG is used as an image the SVG file must be self-contained for privacy reasons. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628747 for more details and reasoning.

I'm using Next.js and I have a couple of SVG files inside the public directory:
/public/branding/logo.svg
/public/branding/brand.svg
/public/branding/slogan.svg
And I'm using img tag to load them:
<img src='/branding/logo.svg' />
However, the image is not shown. But I can right click on the image src in Google Chrome's Dev Tools and open the SVG in a new tab and see its content.
Though I see this message:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
What's wrong?
The problem is exactly that browser message:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
If nextjs does not show your SVG image, first open that SVG inside a browser (Chrome for example). If it shows you that message, then SVG has problems. Replace it with another SVG and it should work. It worked for me.
So, we can say that nextjs only shows valid SVG files that browser can render. It took me some days to be solved though.
In this project:
https://test.restaurantacasa.cat/
I use vectors as restaurants logos. In some of them, I include (embed in the svg) a bit of bitmap, for an example, here:
https://test.restaurantacasa.cat/#!/restaurant/el-campanar
However, if you open that one in Safari (mobile or desktop), you'll notice that the bitmap section is not rendered.
Can you help me understand why?
I produce the vectors with Adobe Illustrator.
Have you tried using <object> to embed your SVGs, instead of <img>? <object> elements don't have the same restrictions on external references that <img> does.
This is a known bug with Safari.*
When you use SVG as an <img>, external files such as embedded images are not loaded (in any browser). To get around this restriction, Illustrator converts embedded images to data URI values, so that all the data for the embedded image is stored in the SVG file.
For most browsers, this is enough. However, Safari treats the data URI value the same as any other URL referencing an external file, and does not process/load it.
* Scroll down the comments on the linked bug report, it took people a while to figure out what the problem was! The main discussion starts around comment 16.
I also had this issue and found a solution which I thought was worth posting here.
I was embedding the SVG as an object:
<object data="path_to_file.svg" />
and the object was including the image as:
<image href="raster.png" />
This worked everywhere except Safari. I found out that the proper syntax to use is this:
<image xlink:href="raster.png" />
Furthermore, if you are javascripting, it's not sufficient to just setAttribute() you need to setAttributeNS() like so:
el.setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink","href","raster.png")
Also, be sure to include the xlink NS at the top of the SVG file in the SVG tag:
<svg ... xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ...>
(based on info I found here)
Here is a demo SVG file. Please use Firefox for viewing because currently it seems to be the only properly showing browser.
The task is to construct a pure SVG document (e.g. not html-embedded) that will be able to show tooltips using only CSS features (no JS and also no :before/:after pseudo-elements). I managed to achieve this by using the HTML foreignObject element.
However, I can not find if it is possible to position such elements in relation (e.g. 10px to the left and top from it) to other in-document SVG objects without using JavaScript for it and without embedding the SVG file itself into some other document format (e.g. HTML).
In the final version of the file there will be 20-30+ tooltips, so it is desirable to avoid manual positioning. I was hoping there would be something for "attaching" them to other objects (withthe use of their IDs) or at least to their parent objects, but my search results only return documentation and questions regarding JS or HTML implementations.
add. notes:
1) CSS-only SVG file is required because the file is intended to be used on wiki sites, which prohibid SVGs that have javascript in them.
2) If I understand correctly, displaying HTML formatting in HTML foreignObject element is not a current SVG standard requirement for SVG user agents (i.a. web-browsers). However, Firefox seems to properly display them, and I’d rather use that (even not fully supported) opportunity. If I am missing some easier ways of achieving the same thing — please do tell about them.
3) SVG code backup: pastebin.
Unfortunately, you can't achieve this effect using just CSS because positions in SVG are attributes, not styles.
I would like to use SVG and not to have to create a PNG fallback every time. Is the an easy solution to this problem? I have looked at these projects but can't tell whether they support it:
http://sie.sourceforge.jp/
http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/
try GruntIcon - http://github.com/filamentgroup/grunticon
grunticon takes a folder of SVG files (typically, icons that you've
drawn in an application like Adobe Illustrator), and outputs them to
CSS in 3 formats: svg data urls, png data urls, and a third fallback
CSS file with references to regular png images, which are also
automatically generated and placed in a folder.
grunticon also generates a small bit of JavaScript and CSS to drop
into your site, which asynchronously loads the appropriate icon CSS
depending on a browser's capabilities, and a preview HTML file with
that loader script in place.
There's quite a number of SVG polyfills:
https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/wiki/HTML5-Cross-browser-Polyfills#svg
Please try them and update your initial question with the results for each.
I'm wondering if I can create multiple "brushes" in a single SVG file and use them thoughout my CSS.
Right now I have a single SVG file that has a gradient stored in the "defs" and a single rectangle that draws it. Then I use this SVG file as a background image in my CSS. It works well but I'd rather not have a million separate SVG files. I'd like to combine like "brushes" together in a single SVG file something like CSS sprites or XAML is capable of.
Is there a way to do this? If so what's the syntax to specify for the CSS background image which SVG element from the svg file to use?
Thanks for any help.
In theory yes, that should be possible. It's not yet fully defined in a w3c spec though and the implementations do differ at this stage.
Note that svg itself allows a special fragment syntax, so in theory you should be able to link to different views of the same svg file. That could be used to do CSS/SVG sprites.
Linking directly to the id of a nested svg fragment (or to any other element inside the svg) is something that would need to be further specified.
Assuming that linking with fragments from a CSS background property works, then a possibility if you use XHTML (serving the resulting file as application/xhtml+xml) is to just include the svg resources inline in the main document, eliminating the need for many separate files. This can be done as a pre-publishing buildstep if you wish to keep the svgs separate for editing. Another possibility is to use data uris.
I'm also seeking for the same, and here are the pointers I could find:
17.3 Linking into SVG content: IRI fragments and SVG views (w3.org)
SVG Stacks (simurai.com)
Can I use SVG fragment identifiers? (caniuse.com)
Better SVG Sprites With Fragment Identifiers (broken-links.com)
According to caniuse.com, there is an issue with browser support, but that does not prevent you to try and observe future browser evolution (in the hope a future day they will all support this obvious feature).
