Converting clip-path: polygon() to Edge-compatible SVG
I’m trying to create a CSS illustration that works across browsers, including Edge.
Using this answer, I tried to convert the following (working) CSS polygon clip-path to an Edge-compatible, SVG-driven approach. The 1-to-1 method is rendering something, but it’s not the desired result.
What am I misunderstanding here?
Currently working CSS clip-path: polygon()

You have a few errors:
-
The clipPath elements have the same id as the divs. I’ve changed this by adding
cp-to the clipping paths id -
When you transformed from % to units you have 6% = .6 instead of 6% = .06. Also in your code 100% = .1 instead of 100% = 1
