We will be relying on <a class=\"link\" title=\"Modernizr is a JavaScript library that detects HTML5 and CSS3 features in the user\u2019s browser.\" href=\"http:\/\/modernizr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Modernizer.js<\/a> to help us out. You can follow these <a class=\"link\" title=\"Installing Modernizer\" href=\"http:\/\/modernizr.com\/docs\/#installing\" target=\"_blank\">instructions<\/a> on how to install modernizer and get started.<\/p>\n<p>Once you get Modernizer installed you can add the following jQuery snippet to change all of your inline .svg images to .pdf images in browsers that do not support .svg.<\/p>\n<pre>$( document ).ready(function() {\r\n\t$(function() {\r\n\t\t\/*SVG to PNG if browser does not support it*\/\r\n\t\tif(!Modernizr.svg) {\r\n\t\t\t$('img[src*=\"svg\"]').attr('src', function() {\r\n\t\t\t\treturn $(this).attr('src').replace('.svg', '.png');\r\n\t\t\t});\r\n\t\t}\r\n\t\t\/*eof SVG to PNG*\/\r\n\t});\r\n\r\n});<\/pre>\n<p>Next we will tackle the CSS background images. This one is simple because you only have to make a no-svg class for your background image.<\/p>\n<pre>.image { background:url(img\/some-image.svg) center center no-repeat; }\r\n.no-svg .image { background:url(img\/some-image.png) center center no-repeat; }<\/pre>\n<p>When Modernizer runs on the page it adds a bunch of classes to the &lt;HTML&gt; tag and one of those classes is either svg or no-svg so all we have to do is target the no-svg class like I did above in the CSS and display the .png image. give it a try!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are still some browsers out in the wild that do not support the .svg file format.
