Animate path loaded from external svg - animation

When I define a simple path with an animation in a svg and use it immediately, everything works fine (see the following snippet)
<html>
<body>
<svg width='100%' height='100%' preserveAspectRatio="xMaxYMax">
<defs>
<symbol id="myloader" width="100%" height="100%" x="0px" y="0px" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" viewBox="0 0 50 80">
<path fill="#000" d="M43.935,25.145c0-10.318-8.364-18.683-18.683-18.683c-10.318,0-18.683,8.365-18.683,18.683h4.068c0-8.071,6.543-14.615,14.615-14.615c8.072,0,14.615,6.543,14.615,14.615H43.935z">
<animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="xml" dur="0.6s" from="0 25 25" repeatCount="indefinite" to="360 25 25" type="rotate"/>
</path>
</symbol>
</defs>
<use xlink:href="#myloader"></use>
</svg>
</body>
</html>
Now when I try to move this svg to an external file and load it from there, the svg is shown but the animation doesn't run.
loaders.svg
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:xl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100%" height="100%" x="0px" y="0px" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" style="enable-background:new 0 0 50 50;" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 50 80">
<defs>
<symbol id="myloader" width="100%" height="100%" x="0px" y="0px" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" style="enable-background:new 0 0 50 50;" viewBox="0 0 50 80">
<path fill="#000" d="M43.935,25.145c0-10.318-8.364-18.683-18.683-18.683c-10.318,0-18.683,8.365-18.683,18.683h4.068c0-8.071,6.543-14.615,14.615-14.615c8.072,0,14.615,6.543,14.615,14.615H43.935z">
<animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="xml" dur="0.6s" from="0 25 25" repeatCount="indefinite" to="360 25 25" type="rotate"/>
</path>
</symbol>
</defs>
</svg>
html
<html>
<body>
<svg width='100%' height='100%' preserveAspectRatio="xMaxYMax">
<use xlink:href="loaders.svg#myloader"></use>
</svg>
</body>
</html>
Is this expected behaviour or am I doing something wrong. I want the animation to run from the external resource too.

shape morphing animation in svg is not working properly

I have used the SMIL animate tag but morphing of one shape to another shape is not working.
Please see my svg file and let me know about any kind of solution.
I have already tried tag and CSS for this animation but neither solution worked.

Triangle should morph in square.

In order to smoothly animate all the paths need to have the same type and number of commands in the same order. Your paths don't meet that requirement e.g.
<animate repeatCount="indefinite" attributeName="d" dur="5s"
values="M917.58,565.98L192.42,984.66....;
M905.06,935.06H174.94....;
M917.58,565.98L192.42....
The second command in the middle path is an H, in the other two paths it's an L. Such disparate paths will not morph.

svg fill image quality. How to fix?

I have patterns that each have a single image in them.
I have not used svgs much before and do not know which attributes to change to get clear result. I've been trying all sorts of combinations of preserveAspectRatio, viewBox, patternUnits, but I cannot seem to get what I want.
https://codepen.io/shkasjon/pen/WYwZmy
here you can see that the second svg image is displayed clearly and sharply and the first one is blurred.
How can i fix the quality of the first svg image?

Selecting by ID:

Check this demo, clicking on your path (you'll have to scroll down to find it):
d3.select("#section3").on("click", function(){
console.log("hello");

SVG strange behavior in IE10+

I'm using svg patterns to define custom background images for the fill attribute in svg's later in the page. I'm hiding the original svg and pattern definitions at the top of the page.
IE9 has no issues
IE10 doesn't show anything
IE11 working in fiddle, but in production only shows last one on page
Here is a stripped down example: http://jsfiddle.net/CCFWj/3/

The Microsoft SVG deviations are vague on the subject of the pattern element:
The display property affects pattern elements and references to those pattern elements
On the subject of xml:space:
The xml:space attribute is not supported in SVG.
So xml:space and pattern deviations may cause no side-effects in one version of IE, but several side-effects in another.
