The browser vendors are investing heavily into lifting up what they initially prototyped long time before. This is true of Opera, Firefox, Safari and Chrome, but there is no clear indication on the plans to supporting SVG from the major browser vendor - Microsoft. True, Microsoft has recently made a vague statement on its commitment to support the standards and the thrilling web-as-a-platform thing aka HTML5, but in what extent and when? And what shall we do until that time has come, or until the older IE browser park has updated?http://www.insideria.com/2009/07/yes-you-can-now-use-quite-a-bi.htmlhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oreilly/ajax/~3/61DRGSLspus/post-4.htmlajaxjavascriptprogrammingKyle DentThu, 23 Jul 2009 08:07:02 PDTtag:broadcast.oreilly.com,2009://53.37543]]>Using the referrer URL to detect what brought users to your site can let you help them find what they're looking for. The almost magical asynchronicity of Ajax lets you provide additional content for users from search engines.
