In DOM viewer I see that after setAttribute('xlink:href',value) on the cloned
node the node has two xlink:href attributes, unless I am not seeing properly.
Isn't setAttribute supposed to replace value if attribute already exists?
Is there another way to set this attribute so that the new xlink is available?
Also, if I remove the [xlink:href="#templateTextPathDef"] the display works as
expected.
<textPath xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
xlink:href="#templateTextPathDef" xlink:type="simple" xlink:actuate="onLoad"
id="templateTextPath" xlink:show="other"
xlink:href="#item0TextPathDef">India</textPath>
Any thoughts/pointers will be helpful..
Thanks again.
Nirmesh.

As always, creating and attaching a reduced test case [1] to the
message may help receiving more and more valuable feedback. (For this
case, apparently a single SVG file containing a script snippet and
target path elements will do the trick.)
Just a though: are you deep cloning the element (i.e.,
"cloneNode(true)" [2])?. If not, then it is Firefox and Renesis who
may be suffering from issues, as non-deep copies of DOM subtrees
should act as "use" elements, that is, when you manipulate a non-deep
cloned element, the referenced element is the one who is actually
changed.
Hope this helps,
