It would be a better model to consider the text elements in an SVG document more like text in individual HTML documents/frames than the 'normal' body text of a simple HTML. It is quite common for the text elements to be presented 'out of order' since it is a graphics format. This could lead to _very_ unintuitive selection behavior. I will say that all text within one text element is selectable even if the text uses tspans/textPath etc. So if you are looking for ways around the problem with flowText you could use one large text element with a tspan for each line. > Is this behavior part of the implementation of SVG? IIR correctly the Adobe Viewer behaves this way as well. I am unsure if the Mozilla/Fire Fox viewer allows it. > Is there a way to select multiple text elements? Unlike the text-decoration I don't think this would be a large amount of effort to implement but there would be some potential performance issues (figuring out where the text elements are relative to one another) as well as some UI issues like do you select all text element's in between? Once again in some cases this would be the expected behavior in other it would cause some serious strangeness. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
