The above image should have been an svg image, since that makes it much smaller. However, it tended to freeze in Safari and Firefox, so I'll just link to it for now. Safari 3.1 has issues with the masking and sometimes the fill disappears for the tspans. Firefox 2 doesn't support masks, and has major issues with tspans. Firefox 3.0rc1 still has problems with tspans. Batik 1.7 renders it correctly, but doesn't run the animations (though possibly that's due to the FakeSMILe script). Opera 9.x should be able to play the animation just fine without FakeSMILe though, and you can click the image to stop the rotate animation should you get dizzy or something

My.Opera servers won't let me. Apparently you are a untrustworthy source for an svg image. And a click to the button doesn't help. Might be my browser prefs of course, but I don't want to fiddle with my config atm...

Firefox 3.1 Alpha 1 (Shiretoko) does a pretty good job with it on my mac. No color, but decent motion.

Chrome cant cope with it either, lots of unclipped rotating black text.
Very cool demo tho.

Hi Erik, you should turn this image into a clock and post a link in svg-developers! There are a lot of cool clocks appearing of late. This would fit right in.
