  1. POFirefox support for alignment-baseline property?
    text
    copied!<p>Does Firefox have any support at all for the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/alignment-baseline"><code>alignment-baseline</code> property</a>? When I inspect (using Firebug) SVG elements for which the <code>alignment-baseline</code> property has been explicitly set, Firebug does not list this property at all (IOW it treats is as noise). No matter what value I assign to this property, the appearance of the displayed text never changes, further suggesting that FF ignores this property altogether.</p> <p>(One other sign that FF's support for this property may be busted is that the link given in the page cited above for the CSS documentation for this property is <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/alignment-baseline">dead-as-a-doornail</a>.)</p> <p>Assuming that, as it appears, FF does not support the <code>alignment-baseline</code> property, what is the value of this property that would most closely replicate FF's default behavior?</p> <p>EDIT: For example, view this <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/APWE3/3/">jsFiddle</a> with both Chrome and FF; each line of displayed text displayed a highlighted word that has been produced with code of the following form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;tspan style="alignment-baseline:alphabetic"&gt;alphabetic&lt;/tspan&gt; </code></pre> <p>Note that all the lines look the same in FF, but not so in Chrome.</p> <p>There are a few possible candidate values for this property to replicate FF's default behavior (namely, <code>auto</code>, <code>alphabetic</code>, <code>mathematic</code>, and <code>inherit</code>); unfortunately, this experiment cannot decide the matter, and it's not clear to me which of the possible options would match FF's default behavior in the greatest fraction of cases.</p>
