Description Misty Stanley-Jones 2013-08-01 05:00:23 UTC

Description of problem:

Internet Explorer 8 and earlier do not support SVG graphics. Users of this configuration see no logo at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Any documentation with the Red Hat logo, when viewed on IE8 or earlier. For instance, https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.1/html/Administration_and_Configuration_Guide/

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use IE 8
2. View https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.1/html/Administration_and_Configuration_Guide/
3. Notice that there is no visible logo.

Actual results:

Don't see the logo.

Expected results:

Expect to see the logo.

Additional info:

According to andyfitz, you can override the SVG with a PNG, and IE will use the PNG but everyone who supports it will use the SVG.

This has a branding impact not only for Red Hat brands, but for each other customer who puts their logo on their documentation in SVG format.

Comment 2 HSS Product Manager 2013-09-24 04:57:31 UTC

HSS-QE has reviewed and declined this request. QE for this bug will be handled by IED.

Comment 3 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2013-09-24 05:12:49 UTC

Fixed all SVGs to fall back to $filename =~ s/.svg/.png/

Brands must ship title_logo.png for this to work for them.

This will not work with DocBook5, a request must be opened upstream to get this patch added.

Comment 4 Ruediger Landmann 2013-10-19 00:33:08 UTC

Verified on a DocBook 4 book built with publican-3.9.9-0.fc19.t11.noarch and viewed on IE6, IE7, and IE8 on Windows XP.
