SVG or Scalable Vector Graphics are a great way to add graphics to the web with XML. They are supported by all browsers except some versions of Internet Explorer, which require a plugin. And what's especially nice is that you can include these images with an object tag that points to your SVG image file.

Darla has created a number of great SVG resources for you to get started drawing vector images on your web pages, including creating lines, shapes, and then coloring them with flat color and gradients. And you can even embed the SVG images in your HTML and see some examples of SVG in HTML online.
