[Inkscape-user] Using <Object> to scale SVG file

Hi,

I'm new to Inkscape and SVG. I've just created my first Inkscape graphic and now want to include it in my web page. I've learned to use the tag to do this, and it works fine except for one thing. The graphic is too big, and Firefox is automatically generating scroll bars to view the entire image (which does not fit into the height and width specified in the object tag).

Is there any way to scale an SVG image at render time, either by using options in the object tag or by some other means? I tried using the object tag's subtag to specify height and width parameters, but that didn't work.

Thanks.
