Okay, I have to admit, that was EXTREMELY COOL, I didn't know that SVGcould do animation. But now, being a Windows user, I have a question, this animation runs very well using SeaMonkey in Windows XP, but if I use IE7 as I normally would, then I just get a static image, no animation, anybody know why (other than the obvious answer, that it was made by Microsoft) ?
IE7 apparently doesn't support SVG natively. When I tried to view it it told me I had to download the Adobe SVG viewer active x control. I would say that Adobe's plugin doesn't support animation, but it seems that it does -- there's an animated SVG on the plugin test page: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/svgtest.html ... Which works on IE7 with the Adobe plugin, but NOT with standard Firefox. Hmm. Maybe there multiple/non-standard ways to define an SVG animation.
