About the “Website Skins” features in IE8.1, it’s not so unbelievable.

Opera actually has this out of the box.

Custom stylesheet per site. And 16 predefined CSS.

> FakeSmile for Firefox sometimes freezes the browser

yes i read that in the source. i tried here and it doesn’t want to freeze. hmm. i’m on windows. were your freezes accompanied by cpu activity ?

just an idea : if the script is too greedy, try to increase var mpf (milliseconds per frame) to something like 100 or even 200. not so nice though.

@jeremy: Good point, but this is a problem with Safari overall (not specific to foreignObject).

@David: Opera gives me odd scrollbars, sometimes the text is not visible and it doesn’t stretch the foreignObject width properly as far as I can tell. David, I’ll also note that I tried this with FakeSmile for Firefox and sometimes it freezes the browser. I didn’t think that would be responsible (even for April Fool’s!).

Firefox also puts in the scrollbars around the foreignObject.

I had to use a referenced SVG because of WordPress. I’ve opened a bug for them.

excellent !!

works great in Opera 9.6 here, and smoother than safari on the glyphs.

It breaks in Safari 4 if you resize the browser. You then have to refresh to fix it.

I'll note that this only works as intended in Safari 4 and Chrome 2. Opera 9.6 gets some of it right...
