I am using the foreignObject element in SVG, however IE9 does not support this

  • 0

I am using the foreignObject element in SVG, however IE9 does not support this element. I am looking at a way the detect this feature. Modernizr does not detect this feature and it seems I can not use createSVGForeignObject (not available on SVGSVGElement) like they do for rectangle (createSVGRect).

Thanks!

    This should work if you want to use foreignObject because it integrates html content…

    <switch>
  <g requiredFeatures="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/feature#Extensibility" requiredExtensions="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <foreignObject >
    </foreignObject>
  </g>
  <text font-size="10" font-family="Verdana">
     No foreignObject
  </text>
</switch>

    The requiredExtensions part proposed to w3c and this was their response. Firefox does implement this, but I havent tested anything else though. You may be able to get away with just the requiredFeatures attribute as Erik suggests.

    If you want to test in javascript try

    var supported = document.implementation.hasFeature("http://w3.org/TR/SVG11/feature#Extensibility", "1.1"); –
