Chrome not showing a SVG file

I have a SVG ilustration embeded in an HTML5 file which works in all modern browsers when I try it on local, but when I try to serve them from the web I dont get Chrome to render the SVG image, it only renders the SVG source code. I already added this lines to an .htaccess file which solved the issues in Safari and Firefox:

AddType image/svg+xml svg
AddType image/svg+xml svgz
AddEncoding x-gzip .svgz

But Chrome now is the only browser that doesn't render the image when comes from the web. My local file works fine even in Chrome.

What am I missing?

Here is the link to the sample of the issue, try it on Safari and Firefox, it will work. But in Chrome the story is different.

EDIT: Link was broken and seems to be missing www. prefix: http://www.getformgallery.com/demo/gos-form.html

If you run lighttpd, you may have to add the svg mime type to configuration file:

mimetype.assign             = (
  ".svg"          =>      "image/svg+xml"
)

and set the style directly into the <img> tag (i.e. <img style="width:100%" src="picture.svg">).

I have the same problem. Before some Chrome updates the svg I used in my site works but from certain Chrome updates those svg didn't worked and the page won't load either, just loads for 1-2s and then redirected to Aw, snap.

Finally I figure it out. You have to define "width" and "height" in Object tag eg. 

<object height="100%" width="100%"data="images/image.svg" type="image/svg+xml"></object>

Did you export the SVG from Photoshop using an extension like SVG Hero? If so, did you export a smart object? I had the same problem, but fixed it by saving the SVG from Illustrator instead. Now my SVG works in all browsers.

SVG files are supported in chrome but are not supported fully. You might have some issue sometimes. Try this link to get help to your answer.

Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and all other modern browsers (with the exception of IE) support SVG natively without the need for plugins. so you get plugin First and try do access

I am using Google Chrome 18 and the sample-page renders fine for me, even after going to the SVG image directly. The problem might be solved by the browser-makers.
