>Not to be a party pooper in any way but you do realise that Adobe is dropping their SVG viewer and thus you are going to be relying on third party vendors to keep this alive as a viable technology?

>It sounds like you are trying to achieve what Adobe Flex and MS WPF are going for. Maybe you should look at them. WPF uses XAML, which is just XML, to describe the interface. A VFP app could spit that out.

These are all fair points. I'm not trying to use the Adobe viewer specifically and I pointed out that a first step was to disable some of its functionality. Also, while the web browser object for the live application will almost certainly be IE, I cannot assume that a user browsing the replica pages will have any particular flavour of SVG in their browser.

There is no problem with generating XML and SVG pages. The problem comes with altering individual elements, e.g. programmatically highlighting SVG objects in the interface at will. It would possible to refresh an entire page in one go to alter just one part, but that would look archaic.

It may be that WPF (+ all the goodies preloaded in Vista) is the way to go and I can imagine most home users will have Vista within two years. Alas, business users are often half a decade behind. (Today I visited a workplace in Canberra with Windows 2000 and no sign of upgrading in the near future.)
