The MouseEvent client coordinates seem to be in the coordinate system of the SVG element, not in the coordinate system of the SVG canvas as I had thought. This seems incorrect according to the W3C spec. >From reading over the W3C specs again it seems to me that: - SVGLocatable.getScreenCTM should give a transform from element coordinates to physical device coordinates - MouseEvent.getScreenX/Y should give physical device coordinates - MouseEvent.getClientX/Y should give canvas coordinates - physical device coordinates == screen coordinates (not top level window coordinates) Does that sound right? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
