I've long been interested in SVG, and have been thinking that it would make a good target runtime platform for OpenLaszlo applications so I decided to see how difficult it would be to port the DHTML kernel (which is still under development) to SVG. With native browser support going strong, it seemed perfectly achievable.

In about two days of hacking I got a large part of the Sprite API ported to SVG. Here is a simple demo of the SVG kernel running:

• http://www.beartronics.com/svg/svg.html (SVG version)
• http://www.beartronics.com/svg/sprite.lzx (LZX source)
• http://www.beartronics.com/svg/sprite.lzx.swf (Flash version)

If time permits, I will try to clean up the code for my SVG kernel enough to release it, please contact me through comments here if you are interested. There are remaining bugs but it is overall good.
