...did you try event.getClientX() and event.getClientY() ? Also, if you getNodeValue() of 'text' is it really the right text?

In my svg I have a text element that contains a tspan element. I tried the following on mousemove for the text, but always get -1 for the character index: SVGTSpanElement text = (SVGTSpanElement) event.getTarget(); SVGTextElement parent = (SVGTextElement) text.getParentNode(); SVGMatrix transform = parent.getScreenCTM(); SVGMatrix inverse = transform.inverse(); SVGDocument document = canvas_.getSVGDocument(); SVGSVGElement root = document.getRootElement(); SVGPoint point = root.createSVGPoint(); point.setX(event.getScreenX()); point.setY(event.getScreenY()); point = point.matrixTransform(inverse); int index = text.getCharNumAtPosition(point); System.out.println(index); SVGRect extent = parent.getExtentOfChar(0); System.out.println(extent.getX() + " " + extent.getY()); So I tried the following, which also gives -1: point.setX(extent.getX() + 1); point.setY(extent.getY() + 1); index = parent.getCharNumAtPosition(point); System.out.println(index); Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
