With some more investiongation I could determine that if the transformationOrigin in FF is set to Pixel Value it works somehow. But not satisfieing as the width and height of the object tend to vary, so the animation is not exactly to the point centered.

 

In IE I didn´t manage it to get this work. 

 

And also it´s not working under : OPERA Version 12.15  Build 1748  Platform Linux

 

Any help and comment is appreciated.

Hey David. Unfortunately we can't really fix all browser problems, as it seems Firefox clearly has a bug that causes it to misinterpret percentage-based transformOrigin values for SVG elements as 0px (you can verify that by inspecting the element and looking at the computed values in Firefox). This has nothing to do with GSAP - you can manually try setting it as well yourself and you'll see that Firefox just uses 0px 0px. As you discovered, the best workaround is to set px-based values instead of percentages. 

 

As far as IE, it was choking on what it determined was malformed SVG tags, complaining that they cannot be self-closing, plus you had extra markup that it was whining about as well (an extra doctype declaration and a tag that started with <?). But even when that was fixed, IE still didn't want to honor any changes to the SVG's css styles. Again, this has nothing to do with GSAP - it's an IE issue. You can try manually setting that element's style.transform or even style.width. Neither works. The best workaround in IE that I can think of is to put your SVG into a regular DIV that's sized the way you want, and then animate the DIV instead. That'd obviously work in other browsers as well.
