SVG File - basic mime type syntax
The SVG file format is supported natively by recent versions of
Firefox, Opera and Safari. A plug-in is required for Internet Explorer versions
before IE 9 beta - the Adobe plugin works with the basic syntax, though you must use the correct
<param> elements.
You may want to make your <object> fallback
contain a suitable alternative (e.g. static image) or a link to the Adobe
plugin, though Adobe do not offer support for the plugin any more and it was
last updated in 2005.
Note:
the server must be configured to deliver the correct content headers for
some browsers to recognise the format correctly. Configuration information can be found on Jonathan Watt's SVG Authoring Guidelines website.
