Comment 95 for bug 168261

I've checked also WebKit (527). It behaves the same way as I described in previous comment, except for the last case - if the foo.svg is embedded into HTML using <img> tag, then WebKit doesn't display the internal bar.svg. Perhaps it's a bug, because bar.svg is being displayed (and animated) if foo.svg is embedded using <object> tag.

However, I've also repeated the tests in Opera, and this time the bar.svg is being animated (SMIL, of course) even if foo.svg is embedded using <img> tag. Don't know, maybe the last time I was checking I made some mistake, but I'm pretty sure that the bar.svg is being animated in both cases (foo.svg embedded using both <img> and <object>). Checked with Opera 9.50 and 9.60.

And there's a weird thing in Opera 10 beta: also in the last case, in this version of Opera, bar.svg is not being animated at all (neither for foo.svg in <img> nor for foo.svg in <object>). Maybe it's a bug, but maybe they decided to change the behaviour for some reason?

So summarizing, Opera and WebKit behave the same way for cases 1, 2 and 3, as described in comment #58. For case 4, Opera (9.5, 9.6) does animate the bar.svg embedded in foo.svg (using <svg:image>) in all cases (foo.svg in <img> and in <object>). However, Opera 10 beta does not. As for WebKit, it has problem with displaying the bar.svg when foo.svg is embedded using <img>, but for foo.svg in <object> everything works fine (the animation also).

Hope I didn't complicate it too much;)
