Thank you very much, I've got it to work but... I had to change the "display" to "visibility" in the svg file.
Which brings me back to an older problem: I am trying to change a text label within an SVG file and have succeeded in changing the label when the target XML text node is contained within a text element. However, I have been less successful when the target XML text node is contained in a tspan element. a work-around that involves replacing the tspan element that is contained within the text element with a cloned and updated copy of the tspan and XML text nodes. This code successfully causes updates in the JSVGCanvas: ................... svg file snippet.............................................. text id="status_text_MVI01_TEST1_ANALYZER_STATE_GUI" transform="matrix(0.9164 0 0 1 50.2876 70.8574)" display="inline"><tspan x="0" y="0" font-family="'ArialMT'" font-size="11.8501" letter-spacing="0.593">INIT</tspan></text> .................................................................... I was wondering if I can change the label <tspan>INIT</tspan> using setAttribute("style", ????); without having to use the work-around solution above. and what would be the exact parameter to use for text. -----Original Message----- From: Thierry Kormann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 10:14 AM To: Batik Users Subject: RE: Element's attribute "display" > I'm sorry, but exactly how do I set this up. > Obiously I cannot use this method: testElement.setAttribute()anymore. use visibility the same way you are using display. setAttribute("visibility", "hidden"); instead of setAttribute("display", "none"); and setAttribute("visibility", "visible") instead of setAttribute("display", "inline") ... --- you can also use the style attribute setAttribute("style", "visibility:hidden"); ....
