Hi, I created a filter that applies a displacement map to the background image to simulate effects like water caustics or the warping you see around fires, but it doesn&#39;t render how I want it to.<div><br></div><div>The filter is being applied to the entire bounding box of the path instead of just inside the path. I tried it in Opera, which does support using the background image as a filter source and it shows the same effect. Is this correct behavior?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve attached an example of my problem. It&#39;s a star over a checkboard, but you should only see the checkerboard distorted inside the star.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, could someone comment on why so few browsers (I only know Opera) support the background image as a filter source? To me, it doesn&#39;t seem any more complicated than just a regular transparency.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Yale</div><div><br></div>
