This isn't correct. You must use the namespace aware
version of the DOM API's:
itemLabelTextPath.setAttributeNS
("http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";,
'xlink:href','#'+textPathDefId);
> textpathDef.setAttribute('id',textPathDefId);
> textpathDef.setAttribute('d',new_textpath);
Technically all your other setAttribute calls should look like
textpathDef.setAttributeNS(null, 'id',textPathDefId);
textpathDef.setAttributeNS(null, 'd',new_textpath);
I should also caution that if you try to create
element's yourself rather than cloning them you must
use the createElementNS methods rather than createElement.
