SVG will not display in browser - svg

I am trying to display a simple bar in the browser using svg but for some reason it is not displaying. Here is the code I am using. It does not display the bar.
<h3>SVG Bar</h3>
<svg>
<rect with="50" height="200" style="fill: blue"/>
</svg>
What am I missing?


You've written your width attribute as "with".
But even correcting the typo, you can make a few more improvements:
svg {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 20vw;
height: 20vw;
}
<h3>SVG Bar</h3>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 1000 1000">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="200" height="500" style="fill: blue">
</svg>

SVG odd (random) colors

I am using .SVG files instead of .PNG for a small website I am building and I am encountering an issue with colors.
Whenever I add or remove an .SVG file to my code, all the the other .SVG file (logos) change colors and can't figure out why.
Here is an example of an SVG file :
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"

I attached a codepen portion of the code : https://codepen.io/testingsonmcd/pen/NWRLdgJ
If you remove the last svg file, the first 2 logos will display with the desired colors.

The <style> inside your svgs aren't scoped, meaning their rules will affect the whole document.
Since several of these rules affect the same property of the same selector, they'll conflict with each other.
Simplification of OP's problem:
<svg viewBox="0 0 50 50" width="50" height="50">
<style>
rect { fill: red; }
</style>
<rect width="50" height="50"/>
</svg>
<svg viewBox="0 0 50 50" width="50" height="50">
<style>
rect { fill: green; }
</style>
<rect width="50" height="50"/>
</svg>
<svg viewBox="0 0 50 50" width="50" height="50">
<style>
rect { fill: blue; }
</style>
<rect width="50" height="50"/>
</svg>
Simply choose better selectors for your CSS, for instance you could add a unique class name to each of the root <svg> and append that in front of each selector:
<svg class="svg-1" viewBox="0 0 50 50" width="50" height="50">
<style>
.svg-1 rect { fill: red; }
</style>
<rect width="50" height="50"/>
</svg>
<svg class="svg-2" viewBox="0 0 50 50" width="50" height="50">
<style>
.svg-2 rect { fill: green; }
</style>
<rect width="50" height="50"/>
</svg>
<svg class="svg-3" viewBox="0 0 50 50" width="50" height="50">
<style>
.svg-3 rect { fill: blue; }
</style>
<rect width="50" height="50"/>
</svg>

SVG - inherit multiple colors/animations

What I try to do:
Using a <use> element to copy an icon, and color the icon in two different colors when a specific class is added to the <use> element.
The Icon:
<symbol xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
id="red5" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 48.1 50.8">
<style type="text/css">
.st0{
fill:#D73647;
stroke:#000000;
stroke-miterlimit:10;
}
/* use.active .color-a{
fill: green;
}
use.active .color-b{
fill: blue;
}*/ // Not working...
</style>
<g>
<path class="st0 color-a" d="M2.3,20.2L11.8,20.2C11.8,20.2 12.5,10.9 22.3,11.2C22.3,11.2 28.5,11.1 32.3,16L26.3,22.4L47.5,22.4L47.5,2.7L40.4,9C40.4,9 36.1,0.4 23.6,0.5C23.6,0.5 4.8,-0.2 2.3,20.2z">
</path>
<path class="st0 color-b" d="M45.8,30.6L36.3,30.6C36.3,30.6 35.6,39.9 25.8,39.6C25.8,39.6 19.6,39.7 15.8,34.8L21.8,28.4L0.5,28.4L0.5,48.1L7.7,41.7C7.7,41.7 12,50.3 24.5,50.2C24.5,50.3 43.3,51 45.8,30.6z">
</path>
</g>
</symbol>
The Use Element:
<use id="svg_16"
xlink:href="#red5" transform="matrix(0.6730555893894703,0,0,0.7071457914654147,-239.09557391490307,-165.87702520953462) "
y="269.9999919533732"
x="473.99998587369964"
class="default-state"
fill="black"></use>
When the class of the <use> is changed from "default-state" to "active", I want the colors of the arrows to change (each to its own color).
What I've tried so far:
I understood that for the paths to change their color from the <use> element I have to change their CSS class to this:
.st0{
fill: inherit; // <- changed
stroke: #000000;
stroke-miterlimit: 10;
}
and the color classes to this:
use.active {
fill: green;
}
but then when I set the class of <use> to "active" they both get the same color...
I would like to do the same thing for animations.
What am I missing? How do I achive this?

This is how I would do it: I would create one symbol and I would reuse twice the same path: once as it is and once rotated 180 degs. For the "default" state please remove the active class of the g element.
.st0{
stroke-miterlimit:10;
}
.active .color-a{
fill: green;
}
.active .color-b{
fill: blue;
}

Responsive SVG sizing

I have the following SVG:
body {
background-color: #dad9c7;
svg {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 400px;
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
}
.
<svg viewBox="0 0 1000 1000" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<g>
<rect width="1000" height="151" x="0" y="0" fill="#d5835b" />
<rect width="1000" height="151" x="0" y="150" fill="#d47966" />
<rect width="1000" height="126" x="0" y="300" fill="#b66961" />
<rect width="1000" height="101" x="0" y="425" fill="#d17385" />
<rect width="1000" height="101" x="0" y="525" fill="#aa617c" />
<rect width="1000" height="101" x="0" y="625" fill="#a36d8f" />
<rect width="1000" height="101" x="0" y="725" fill="#736d87" />
<rect width="1000" height="176" x="0" y="825" fill="#313d53" />
</g>
</svg>
Which looks like this:
How can I do the following?
Keep heights of colored strips the same when scaling the window (not scale).
Stretch colored strips horizontally to the edges of the viewport on either side left and right.
Stretch the top-most rectangle to the top of the screen so the upper third of the viewport is orange and stretch the bottom-most rectangle to the bottom of the viewport so that the lower third of the viewport is purple.
Always keep the "square" centered vertically which already works with CSS, but however the SVG is manipulated to solve would have to keep this into account.
Here is an example of how this would look: As the window gets taller, the colored rectangles will stay in the middle, but the top orange and bottom purple would be cut off based on the height of the viewport.

How can I do the following?
Keep heights of colored strips the same when scaling the window (not scale).
You are already doing this by setting height to 400px.
Stretch colored strips horizontally to the edges of the viewport on either side left and right.
Set preserveAspectRatio="none" on the SVG. See below.

Stretch the top-most rectangle to the top of the screen so the upper third of the viewport is orange and stretch the bottom-most rectangle to the bottom of the viewport so that the lower third of the viewport is purple.
You cannot automatically stretch the rectangle itself with CSS. But one way you could do it is to use pseudo elements to colour the top and bottom halves of the parent element with matching colours.

N/A here.
Alternate pure-SVG solution
There is also a pure SVG solution using nested <svg> elements. The only CSS we are using is just to ensure the SVG occupies the full size of the page.
It works by making the top and bottom rectangles extend outside the viewBox by an extra 1000 pixels. To make sure they are visible, we set overflow="visible". 1000 is an arbitrary value. If you want to support screens > 2400 pixels high, then you could choose a larger value.
The inner SVG gets centred vertically using a combination of a y offset and a transform that shifts it up by 200px. This is equivalent to the common top: 50%; transform: translate(0,-50%)" trick to vertically centre CSS block elements.
body {
background-color: #dad9c7;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;

overflow="visible">
<g>
<rect width="1000" height="1151" x="0" y="-1000" fill="#d5835b" />
<rect width="1000" height="151" x="0" y="150" fill="#d47966" />

You cannot use media queries or css styling for that since a svg does not support that. If you really need to that with an SVG, you will need some Javascript to accomplish your desired effect. In your case, I guess it is simpler to create that using html and css with some media queries.
The only thing you can control when scaling/displaying a SVG is the preserveAspectRatio attribute. A detailed description can be found here.

How to round image inside svg

I create an image inside a svg but want to round it and fill the shape (small circle).
I already did image round in html image tag using css style but not know how i can do it in side a svg or apply same css style in svg. Here is a code:

Can someone tell me a correct way.

these are some options:
1) absolute position - place the SVG path inside a container and place an absolute positioned circled div with a background image on top of the path.
HTML/SVG:

3) SVG pattern - place an SVG circle on top the SVG path and fill it with a pattern that is the image itself.

I think the easiest solution in this case is to go with CSS, as it requires less position-tweaking to get proper results.

Scrollable image in SVG

I am trying to replicate this HTML in an SVG:
<div>
<img src="tallimg.jpg">
</div>
div {
overflow: hidden;
width: 10%;
height: 50%;
}
img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
So far I have something like this:
<svg>
<defs>
<clipPath id="clip-path">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="600" height="400"></rect>
</clipPath>
</defs>
<image x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="auto" xlink:href="tallimg.jpg" clip-path="url(#clip-path)">
</svg>
This almost works but the image is the wrong size because height="auto" isn't supported in SVG. Instead it interprets auto as 0. If I use height="100%" width="100%" instead, it is scaled to fit inside its container.
Is it possible to do this with pure SVG? Would I be better off layering the HTML equivalent over the top of the SVG?
