I’m having a few people saying that they are having issues with the HTMLviewer on windows 8 in displaying websites with SVG images. I am using the the HTMLviewer as a webkit for windows users. It works fine in windows 7 but the windows 8 users it shows it as a broken image. Originally when creating the app I ran into this issue had to switch it to webkit version as the native browser would display the same broken image.
Any suggestions?
This could be a “Rendering mode” issue where you get the old IE renderer rather than a newer engine. There are a few ways to affect this, both by special tags in the HTML file:

as well as using REGISTRY changes:

I thought about that but he is using WebKit. Yet indeed, the solution maybe to use the native rendering engine out of compatibility mode.
