BlaatSchaap members might already know this, but I am working on an in-site translation tool.
If you want to help translating, please do so ;)
Well… I’ve been working on the site, and I am making progress. I have now a ‘menu’ in JavaScript/CSS.
I thought it was time to throw in some graphics. I’ve looked in the http://www.openclipart.org/ (Update: moved to https://www.clipsafari.com/ ) Open (Public Domain) clipart to find some graphics. (The current BS logo comes from there
as well)
Since we have modern browers nowadays, I decided to try to use the SVG format, as served on that site.
It works fine in Opera and Chrome, but Firefox is a bitch. Both Opera and Chrome will accept the img tag for an image in the svg format.
Firefox does not, and will only accept it through a object tag. The object tag has it’s problems, transparency is not respected and the onClick() events are not fired. And more problems, like it doesn’t scale lime I can so in the img tag. When I try that I will get scrollbars. Turned out I needed make some patches in the svg file itself to allow it to be scaled.

(looks like it will be solved next firefox 4 beta?)
