Hi cameron, Thanks for the explanation. I was trying to capture all the text elements in my SVG and show them as text fields in an HTML form and also rasterize my SVG as a JPEG(using batik) and show it in the browser. A user can then fill text in the form and the corresponding text would be replaced and i show a new JPEG with the updated text. One issue i had was that a user could type a really long text and it would go beyond my SVG user region. I was hence trying to use a div example available under SVG 1.2 at W3c.org. May be i should use the <flowDiv> to get this working.
