Anyone know why?

I have to echo Margaux's comment. Hard to help with that kind of an issue without the code in question. However, SVG has a very specific format, and a missing or an extra character in there can cause the SVG not to be rendered.

I think it would help us find what's wrong with your code if you showed us your code here. :D
