Try image.setAttributeNS(xlinkNS, "href", url);
without the "xlink:" in the attribute name. The namespace is identified by the namespace URI only.

We discovered a strange behavior when trying to change the "href" attribute of an image by an ECMA script: function load_image(url) { image = document.getElementById("image"); image.setAttributeNS(xlinkNS, "xlink:href", url); } Our aim was to change the image by clicking on a certain SVG element. According to the squiggle DOM Viewer the DOM is adapted accordingly by the script (that is, it includes an attribute "xlink:href" and the corresponding, transmitted URL), but the displayed image is still the same (and shows the image of the old URL). Other attribute changes (like size or position) seem to work as expected. We discovered this while using Batik 1.5 beta4b and beta5. We are running Batik under Windows 2000, JDK 1.4.1_01. Any help will be appreciated.
