dynamic update of , workaround problem

[Barbisch, Martin]

Hello,

I would like to have a <use> element which references an <image> which is
defined in the <defs> section. If the image is clicked, the <use> element
should be changed to display another image. Since I am aware of the fact
that dynamic updates are not possible with all elements yet, I tried to
replace the <use> element by a new one.
Even though the DOM tree reflects the change, the new image is not
displayed.

Does anybody know what is wrong?

Thanks,

Martin
