How to make SVG work with IE?

Question

Does anybody know of a comprehensive library to make SVG work with IE (7 and 8 in particular)?

I wanted something Javascript which could be included in my web page and which would silently convert all my SVG to VML in a fashion similar to what excanvas does for Canvas.

Answer 1

The Raphaël—JavaScript Library can help you out there.

Raphaël uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics and supports Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+.

EDIT:

There are two more js-libraries which use vml to render svgs in IE:

• Ample SDK (where it should be possible to easily integrate existing svg files)
• DojoX GFX from the Dojo Toolkit
