It works in the Safari 3 beta which is also available for Windows now. I am not sure about text selection though.

The SVG site works in latest Opera and Firefox, but not latest Safari. Safari just downloads the SVG file. I will test it later in Konqueror.
I just tried it in Konqueror 3.5.5, and it works fine.
Great! I have come across some problems with my "Hello World"-example:
- While the main text is created with the <text> tag, menues and
headers are drawn paths. I thought the other fonts spiced things up a bit, but had to use the to paths function to keep them looking like that. Personally, I believe the best way around this problem is to recreate font-families as stylesheets. Why require the browser to have access to a special font, when you could simply style Courier or whatever? You could have one UTF-8 font, and then style it with kerning and so on anyway you like. There is probably some good technical reason this is not done. :-)
- Selecting text is not possible in Mozilla Firefox 2.x - this is
just as bad as Flash. Have anyone tried this in Opera, Safari or Konqueror?
- The transparent menu boxes are clickable, but the path
underneath is not. A designer friend pointed this out to me. The text path is below the transparent box, so why is the arrow interacting with it? At first, I added the xlink to text path, but then you could only click on the path it self, which is hard to do. So the transparent boxes on top are a work-around, which almost works. Is there some way to specify a clickable bounding box around the text path? I imagine this would make the text path easy to click, and no extra objects would be needed.
- If the title had been text, and not a path, how would I go about
marking it as such aka a classic HTML <title>-tag? If you look at the example using Firefox 2, you will notice there is no title in the title bar of your browser. This slows down bookmarking and indexing. Is there some way to do this today?
Well, those were the most obvious once to me. I'm sure you have spotted other problems whilst developing your own SVG-sites. :-)
Cheers, Haakon
