I recently learned a little bit more about server controls... how to use them w/ vs .net.

I am writing html code to an <asp:Literal /> tag. One of the things that gets written in the html is an <object> tag (which embeds svg files into the page). Since I started using the <asp:Literal /> tag, instead of response.write, the svg images won't load unless the page is viewed on the server.

ex:
case 1:
I open the .aspx, that creates the page w/ svg embedded, on the webserver, and everything works fine.

case 2:
I open the .aspx that creates the page w/ svg embedded, from another system (not the server), and svg images never load.

wierd part:
In either case (viewing w/ a browser directly from the server or w/ a browser on another system) when I click view source, the source code is identical.


The page was working fine when I was using response.write to write the html (but the html appeared above all other tags which, is very sloppy and bad)


This is what the <object>/<embed> tags look like in the source code:

<object data='G:\WebServer\cpthandler\svgCharts\frictionRatio.svg' width='215' height='685' type='image/svg+xml'>
 <embed src='G:\WebServer\cpthandler\svgCharts\ffrictionRatio.svg' width='215' height='685' type='image/svg+xml' />
              </embed> 
            </object>

thanks for any help.

Ya, I started using it in a real app (i've toyed w/ it a few times before) about 2-3 months ago. I'm generating some kick-@$$
xy-scatter charts on the fly (getting data points from text files).

I'm lovin' the svg stuff now. I spent countless hours messin' w/ ms chart control and other stuff, and could never get things to layout just right. SVG rocks.

SVG is the bong!!



I had written a couple tutorials on how use filters in svg for a great svg site http://www.svgelves.com

but alas the site disappeared
