Does anybody can provide an answer to such issue? I`m trying to put some vector graphics into HTML. Actually it is not necessary in mine case, so I probably would resort to simple image for now, but I as encountered a problem, I couldn't resolve, it's became very interesting and relevant to the future to define what is going wrong. VML is absolutely new to me, by the way.
I tried to insert several vml-elements into a page, and some of them worked perfectly (in IE6, IE7) namely "oval", "rect". But when I've attempted to insert a shape or roundrect everything went wrong.
Actual question is: is there satisfactory VML support in IE6, IE7 or what I'm doing wrong? But as far as I'd examined my code everything is right in it. Below I'll put a sample, so everyone could test this in IE-browser:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1 /DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>sample</title>
<style>
v\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML); display:inline-block}
#div1 {
width:400px;
height:400px;
background-color:#e4fe56;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="div1">
<v:shape style='width:100px;height:100px' fillcolor="red" path="m 0,0 l 30,0,30,30 xe" />
<v:rect style='width:100pt;height:75pt' fillcolor="blue" strokecolor="red" strokeweight="3.5pt"/>
<v:roundrect style='width:100pt;height:75pt" arcsize="0.3" fillcolor="yellow" strokecolor="red" strokeweight="2pt"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Additionally I found that it happens only in strict mode. When DOCTYPE removed or with other conditions when IE works in quirks mode everything works well.
You have mismatched quotes on your style attribute
<v:roundrect style='width:100pt;height:75pt"
You have whitespace in your doctype:
/xhtml1 /
