I don't see an example in the 1.5 sources called
samples/tests/spec/scripting/text_content.svg . I do have a directory called
text_content however.

Here is a java method that I wrote, but it doesn't work when the image has
been zoomed:
(I want to do a drawRect of the boundingBox of the element I clicked on)

  SVGPoint getLocationOnElement(SVGDocument document, SVGLocatable elem,
org.w3c.dom.events.MouseEvent me)
  {

    SVGMatrix mat  = elem.getScreenCTM();
    SVGMatrix imat = mat.inverse(); // Go from screen to elem
    SVGPoint  pt   = document.getRootElement().createSVGPoint();
    pt.setX(me.getClientX());
    pt.setY(me.getClientY());
    pt = pt.matrixTransform(imat);

    return pt;
  }

Where is the point in relation to the element? Is it a corner of a bounding
box, or the center of
the element? For now I want to just click and draw the box, but ultimately,
my goal is to draw a rubber band rectangle on the screen at any zoom factor,
and determine what elements are contained/intersected by the rectangle.

Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
