SVG Files don't render in browser

[jakehilton]

Testing the svg files results in a browser not rendering the image but only the xml data. Tested this in chrome and in firefox. It seems the svg format the files are written in is incomplete. Any help on getting this resolved would be much appreciated.

Here is an svg file that is working correctly:

Thank you.

It might have to do with your http server's mimetype. Mimetype has to be image/svg+xml. I think it does not have anything to do with file's content.

This is a local load.. no server involved. It works with the Tux.svg but not any of the font awesome svg files.

I did notice svg files grabbed from here work: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Font-Awesome_icons

Not sure where the breakdown is but there seems to be something not quite right with the way svg files are generated in this project.

I found the issue, will make an update in a few minutes.

Great to hear. I was going to say that adding the following to the svg tag got it to display.

xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

Not sure if that's the same conclusion you came to but thought I'd mention it.

Thanks!

Working well now. Thank you for the quick fix.
