SVG polyfill in pure Javascript
Tags: Reading time: 1 minute Suggest an edit
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'));
}
}
