Hi Mitch,

You were right! Thanks a lot.
Adding the '.svg' in the end of my url :
http://.../rg/1.svg

displays correctly the image inside the template!
So I'd like to thank all people who have tried to help me 
with this problem, thinking it is a Catalyst problem. It 
looks like it is more a browser issue.

Cheers

Emmanuel
