Hi Friends, I've just started working on a new page for the website, about animation and Inkscape. So I was looking at the info in the manual, and I noticed this page: http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/ANIMATION/. The illustration in the middle section of that page, Animation and CSS, doesn't seem to work with Firefox. The other 2 illustrations do show the animation when I click on them. But nothing with the one in the middle. Note that the image is animated on click, in IE11. Is this a known problem -- with the manual or with Firefox? Should make bug report in LP Documentation account?
Thanks for your help, brynn

Hi Brynn,
you cannot see the animation of the middle picture, because it only runs when the page is loaded for the first time, if I understand the text above the picture correctly (never saw the animation when I just loaded the page). As it is in the middle of he page, it will not be visible to you - or maybe, it doesn't run at all, I can't tell.
To see it move, you need to right-click on the image, and select 'show picture' or 'view picture' or whatever it is in the english Firefox version.
As Tav mentions this on the page itself, I think this won't need a bug report, it's probably more of a Firefox animation implementation problem.
Regards, Maren

Yes, I read the text over and over again. But I just didn't understand it. It sounds like there's some issue with Firefox, but that's all I could understand. It says:
"One must explicitly force the image to reload."
But it doesn't say how to do that. It does work to right-click > View Image. But that opens the image in a new page. Once on that new page, Refresh/Reload does restart the animation.
Well, I guess that's good info for people who are exploring animation with Inkscape. But I couldn't have figured it out on my own.
Then it says: "Both Firefox and Chrome require the "date" trick as used for Chrome above."
But that seems to apply to how the page is coded, and not how the visitor can make the page work. It clearly says "Click image to reload". But that doesn't work.
And if applying the "date trick" will allow the animation to work, it must not have been used for this image. Why? [Looks up source....] Oh, but it HAS been used!
So I think something must be wrong. Right?
Thanks again, brynn

Hi Brynn,

- That's what you're doing by opening the image in its own tab in Firefox. In Chrome, clicking the middle picture restarts the animation. This is a problem with Firefox, not with the picture. It may be that there are tricks to force Firefox to replay the animation like the other browsers do, but if they exist, they are not used here. It may even be that it once worked, and now Mozilla has changed something, and it doesn't work anymore.
That's the whole point of the page - to show that browser support is currently flaky, requires tricks (like the fact that you need js to restart non-js animations), and isn't consistent over all major browsers. Also, to show that making the same animation with different techniques does not allow for the same results, because they offer different ways to animate things. It's an experiment, a demo, not something which can routinely be used on production websites right now (js animation seems to have quite good support, but the others don't, or only for a subset of functionalities).
It does work to right-click > View Image. But that opens the image in a new page. Once on that new page, Refresh/Reload does restart the animation.
- For me, it starts right away.
Then it says: "Both Firefox and Chrome require the "date" trick as used for Chrome above."

- Correct.
It clearly says "Click image to reload". But that doesn't work.
- It does. In Chrome, at least, and maybe in IE, can't test.
And if applying the "date trick" will allow the animation to work, it must not have been used for this image. Why? [Looks up source....] Oh, but it HAS been used!
- Maybe it wouldn't work at all without, even after force-reload, don't know.
