SVG in HTML-Report using <OBJECT> instead of <EMBED>

esday

Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
I am currently dynamically embedding BIRT-generated reports into a GWT-Application. If a requested report contains an SVG image, it currently doesn't display in Internet Explorer because it is rendered in Quirks-Mode due to the GWT application surrounding the embedded report.<br />
<br />
When I replaced the generated <EMBED> tag describing the SVG image with an <OBJECT> tag, also adapting the relevant attributes, my IE9 succeeded in rendering the emebedded SVG report. I currently do this filtering the <span style='font-family: Courier New'>ServletOutputStream</span> of my <span style='font-family: Courier New'>HttpServletResponse</span> passed to the BIRT engine. Though this method is working, I was wondering if there was a <em class='bbc'>more elegant</em> way for me to do this by telling BIRT to use <OBJECT> instead of <EMBED> tags.<br />
<br />
I appreciate any hints on this topic & thanks in advance,<br />

Hi,

not sure but the HTMLImageHandler might be there to your rescue. See Dev Share:
http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/deploying-birt-reports/1440-base64-imagehandler/
for an example. It does base64 encoding on images in the report, perhaps it can be used to define the tags that it is using for the images as well.
