 Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2015 6:25 pm Post subject: firefox and SVG [SOLVED] |
 |
|
hi
Anyone else having issues with svg and Firefox?
Some things work, some don't.
For example if I load this page:
http://d1sc0tech.github.io/keyboard-layout-editor/kb.html
and click the SVG button on the right, it should generate a SVG of the keys. It works in Chrome. It works in Firefox on Linux Mint run via Virtalbox. It works in Firefox on Windows 7 run via Virtualbox.
It does not work in my native Firefox, or even in Konqueror. I have svg switch in make.conf.
Does anyone know why? I disabled AdBlock on that page.

I'd see if firefox-bin works first. Then it may be some library...

I installed firefox-bin, same problem.
I also tried running firefox from the command line as root (to get a different profile), also does not work.
thanks, Ian

Yeah, one would think that Google and Twiitter would stick to standards. The first two errors I saw relate to Google fonts and using Bootstrap, FontAwesome, etc. I think the W3C needs to update their validator for modern practices.

| Back to your OP, could you isolate a minimal test case showing what svg feature does not work in firefox? |

I have in fact downloaded modernizr and will see what it can tell me.
Here's something I found last night:
This extract works:
http://www.petercollingridge.co.uk/sites/files/peter/hover3_set_attribute.svg
So there is some SVG support. Perhaps it is a problem with the page itself then, but it's annoying that it will work in (an admittedly bare-bones) Firefox running on Mint in vitualbox, but not my own native Firefox. Perhaps some plugin is getting in the way.

Have you tried with a clean profile ($ firefox -ProfileManager)? |

As above, tried as root from CommandLine, root has clean profile.
I did try your command above, not sure how clean that profile was because all my plugins were there. Also didn't work. Perhaps I need to exit this instance first...

Using Modernizr:
| Code: |
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>test SVG</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/modernizr.custom.86385.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>SVG test</h2>
<script>
if (!Modernizr.svg)
{
alert("No svg")
}
else
{
alert("We have svg")
}
if (!Modernizr.inlinesvg)
{
alert("No inlinesvg")
}
else
{
alert("We have inlinesvg")
}
if (!Modernizr.svgclippaths)
{
alert("No svgclippaths")
}
else
{
alert("We have svgclippaths")
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
|
All three tests pass.
However from the modernizr docs, this demo works properly in chrome, but is jerky/temperamental/sporadic in firefox:

(click on page to start animation).

I don't think at the end Google doesn't want to follow standards, they want to be the standard...
Alas it looks like it's probably a page issue, and unfortunately it looks like an svg implementation issue.
What version of firefox does Mint use, and what version of firefox in win7? Are either using a svg plugin?
I'm using 31.7 (gentoo-stable) and it appears not to work for that one web page. It seems firefox uses its own SVG interpreter instead of using one of the svg libraries out there. Weird, dunno. I can definitely confirm firefox does parse at least some svg fine as I've written some program to write SVG and it indeed is capable of rendering it...
EDIT:
Weird, tried epiphany-3 and it also does not work on the original webpage but works on my generated SVG...

Did not compare with any other browser, but firefox-31.7.0 (esr, non-bin) does toggle between show/hide of the keyboard view in that grey canvas when tapping the svg button.
In case you were not familiar with firefox, you need to killall firefox && firefox -ProfileManager and create a new profile in order to get a clean one. |

Yes the behavior of 31.7 (esr, gentoo-stable) and 38.0.5 (latest, Windows XP) are different. Gentoo-stable blanks out the keyboard and 38.0.5-windows shows a skeleton. Unsure what the real picture should look like.
Anyone tried a later version of Firefox in Gentoo? Perhaps ~arch since 38.0.5 is in portage already...

Windows 7 Professional Native, FF 38.0.5 : works
Windows 7 Ultimate, via VirtualBox, FF 37.0.2 and 38.0.5: works
WinXP 32bit via Virtualbox, FF 36.0.1 and 38.0.5: works
Linux Mint native, FF 36.0.4: works
Yosemite via Virtualbox: Safari (no idea which version) on does NOT work
Yosemite via Virtualbox: Firefox (new install, presume 38.0.5) works.
Gentoo Linux native, Konqueror 4.14.3: does not work
Gentoo Linux native, Firefox 31.7.0 : does not work
Gentoo Linux native, Chromium Version 43.0.2357.130 (64-bit): works
So I dunno....

Try installing 38.0.5 on Gentoo and see if it works.
Based on all the version numbers that's reported, it seems likely that it was fixed in a later version of Firefox.
The ESR probably should get this fix backported, but that's up to Mozilla to choose...

Skeleton is correct ... it's supposed to be showing you the cutout you would need to make to build the keyboard.

Am happy to report this works in 38.0.5 ... so will mark as solved. Curious that it worked in lower versions on Mint and Windoze though..
Thanks to all for all the suggestions.
cheers, Ian

Apologies, did not check your image before, assumed it was showing the cutout but it does not appear to be.
Here's two samples, the SVG still has at least one bug. Someone else wrote it a while back, probably didn't test on exotic designs.
Images are wide, you may need to scroll right.

True, and many more than one. But I think the problem here is with some of the js crap used in that site.
You could try isolating the code snippet causing the problem and check which bug it is, eventually file a new bug. |
