I am having an issue when I design graphic in illustrator then export to an SVG. The SVG are used on a website within SharePoint. The graphics look fine saving as jpg, png, tiff, ai, but when I export to SVG it is almost like it is making a negative reversing everything. Therefore it looks totally different.

I don’t have issues all the time making SVGs this happens everyone in a while and I don’t know why. I can separate the layers or I can combined them, no change. dosn't matter if I expoxrt to scree or go under Save as I have the same result. I can see the SVG how it would look in Bridge without having the programmer post the picture, then coming back to me. 

This is what I see in Bridge:

 These are the settings under Save as

Am I missing something??  I want to stop running into this issue in the future, so any suggettions would be greately appreciated.

You are using some blend mode in it?

Looks like that is not encoded correctly. When I open the SVG file in Illustrator, I already get the wrong view. Weird thing is that Quick view on the Mac shows it correctly.

Thanks, but I am not understanding "blend mode". I am self-taught, so I am may not know it as that term, I have been designing this since Photoshop came free on computers. Do you mean gradient? If so yes, I am using a gradients. Should you not use gradients in SVGs? Do I have my settings wrong for SVGs or what could be causing this encode incorrectly?
