Any ideas why patterned SVG file is showing up blank in the browser?

Question

I have an svg file that I created in Illustrator that consists of a pattern - it was made using the swatch tool. When I try and load it locally it shows up blank in the browser

Answer 1

Browsers have varying levels of SVG support, so your browser may just not support patterns.

If it's part of a website, I'd just export it as a PNG, as a vector image as big as this would bog down visitors' computers anyway.
