Microsoft IE is based on older technology and can only display basic text and image files. It doesn’t have the ability to display SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). SVG is well supported by virtually every other web browser and allows graphics to be embedded directly in the web browser and manipulated dynamically. While there are some external plug-ins which add SVG capability to MS IE, these have limitations and offer no advantages over simply using a web browser that has SVG capabilities. See the section on “HMI” for more details about web browsers.
