If the video isn't working for you try refreshing the page and try it again. This seems to fix it for most people.

"Tim Berners-Lee, the British-born inventor of the World Wide Web"

"Berners-Lee, director of the standard-setting World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C, said in an interview this week that Internet Explorer is falling behind other browsers in the way it handles an important graphics feature for Web pages."

"A Web image that is encoded as a scalable vector graphic, or SVG, can be resized to fit the computer screen or zoomed into without becoming blocky and losing sharpness, as happens with images encoded as the more traditional "bitmaps." Maps are one popular use of SVG."

"If you look around at browsers, you'll find that most of them support scalable vector graphics," Berners-Lee said. "I'll let you figure out which one has been slow in supporting SVG."

fail to see what this has to do with but XDR but I'll bite... iirc a common way to use SVGs is directly embedding in the browser, which lets you take advantage of the fact that it's just another XML format. Someone said (I think in the IE7 blog) when relating to IE's handling of mime-types involving XML that they weren't going to claim to handle XML until they actually could 100%. I'd bet this is related.

Sure, they could stick a plugin to handle external SVG images only (like you can get from adobe) but a major reason to use SVG is to make use of its ability to be manipulated via ajax stuff

or you could just use silverlight ;)*

*but SVG files are also produced by several other tools and apps, making it more desirable. Sure, vector graphics (xaml) are also defined in xml, but tools don't produce that. they _do_ produce SVG files.

Since you're implementing Access Control headers, does that mean in future versions you will have AC headers in place for truetype/opentype fonts, like Mozilla does?

@Gyrobo: As discussed previously on the IEBlog, we've submitted the EOT format for standardization. You do not need an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to use EOT files.

The existence of Access Control support for XDomainRequest is in no way related to Internet Explorer's font-embedding support.

1st rule of putting up a video on the web.

- If you are showing how to edit code make sure that you're video size is large enough that you can see the characters typed in the example.

- If nothing else, just crop the window to the editor portion only (we don't need to see toolbars, sidebars, the Start button/taskbar etc.

(Bonus points if you turn ClearType™ off before recording so that the rendering output doesn't look fuzzy)

Ugh! The linked video is the right size! why the f@#$ is the embedded one not rendered the correct size?

Man I hate the lack of skills with posting on this blog. Seriously - if you can't hack it, get someone else to do the post.

Clear and interesting presentation.

Will XMLHttpRequest with cross-Site be supported (later) in IE, so that we don't have to provide two versions of the same code?

re: Completing Access Control support for XDomainRequest

Adrian Bateman [MSFT] — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 02:48:45 GMT

@Alexandre: We think that XDomainRequest provides a secure approach to cross-site requests by separating this functionality. XDomainRequest offers a more restrictive programming model than XMLHttpRequest (XHR) and requires developers to be explicit about when they wish to make a request cross-site.

We don't currently have plans to implement cross-site support in XMLHttpRequest.

@Adrian Bateman: Thanks for your fast and clear answer. So we'll have to deal with this double syntax for a while, but I guess libraries such a JQuery will soon take care of that...

thanks the video was very clear and helpfull.

how will we support backward compatibility for IE7 and IE6 as people will take time to migration to IE8 and what about other browser like safari and Opera?

@EricLaw:

Thank you for your prompt response. I apologize for not responding in as timely a manner, but I was chained to a radiator for a week by a sadistic puppet.

I don't want to turn your post on XDomainRequest into a discussion on font embedding, so I won't.

However, if you want another discussion on font embedding, I'll be here.
