Linking to CSS in an SVG embedded by an IMG tag

by

An alternative is to use the <object> tag in your html :-

<object type="image/svg+xml" data="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12583879/pic.svg" width="100" height="100"></object>

It’s a BIG shame the <img> tag won’t work. I don’t want to mess about hacking with converting the SVG to a data URI. It’s to do with cross-site vulnerabilities on indirectly loading resources and the use of an “Open Redirector”.

Note that in my testing lastnight, the <img> tag method DOES work in IE10, but neither Chrome nor FireFox.

I don’t know why <object> is allowed and <img> isn’t. An oversight?
