A designer at work pointed out this SVG polyfill as a candidate for our new production site. While I like the elegance of it, I was a bit disappointed that the author felt the need to include jQuery as a dependency simply to use its selector engine and each
function. So, I rewrote it in pure Javascript.
Javascript:
if (
!(
!!document.createElementNS &&
!!document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "svg")
.createSVGRect
)
) {
var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
for (var i = 0; i < imgs.length; i++) {
imgs[i].setAttribute(
"src",
imgs[i].getAttribute("src").replace(/\.svg/, ".png"),
);
}
}
