Problem
My <radialGradient> for the ellipses below won't show in Chrome based browsers, but will show the other content. Whereas firefox will show both.
I read this page, and this page, and they gave clues that it was a radialGradient issue, but I'm not dealing with any external files like the first page has, nor trying a conical gradient like the other one.
Goal
I want to have my first <svg> tag strictly for <defs> only, so I can reference parts later on to cut down the file size, and keep it clean. And to get rid of blank space, I added style="display: none;" to this first <svg> tag.
What I tried
Once I do the above, I add my other <svg>'s (email, SMS, etc) to reference them many times. Again, the first blank svg with the defs does not show (which is good), and the <path>, ellipses, etc. will show fine in Firefox, but not Chrome.
The ellipses will only show in Chrome when I take off style="display: none;" from the first svg, even though they're in the same element.
When I noticed it might be a <radialGradient> issue, I added fill:yellow;stroke:purple;stroke-width:2 to my ellipses style attribute, and that makes the ellipse show with that styling, so I know the ellipse is there, but the gradient won't show inside it.
Anyone know why the <radialGradient> will not show up in Chrome based browsers while style="display: none;" is on the first svg??? Or does anyone have any work arounds to fix this / do this more efficiently??? I know I can put everything in 1 svg, but I need them all separate so I can style them with css more easily, since they're all icons.
Thanks!
