Hi John,
I just tested the current SVN version and I think editable text doesn't
yet work in Batik. As far as I know Opera >9.5 is the only browser
implementing editable text. As an example, see
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20080912/svggen/text-edit-201-t.svg
I once wrote a SVG textbox control (with Javascript). You can find an
example at http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/gui/textbox/index.svg
and the documentation on how to invoke a textbox at
http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/gui/textbox/
You can also find some other GUI controls at
http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/samples/#iact
However, if you only develop for the JAVA platform it is probably
better/easier to use the Java SWING widgets or whatever is current
nowadays. You should be able to mix swing and SVG canvases.
Hope this helps,
Andreas

Hmm, I tried the example in the specification and it doesn't work. It
renders the field but I cannot enter any text into it.
Could someone confirm whether this is supported in Batik?
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Text entry field?
Is it possible to implement something like a text entry field with a
blinking caret in Batik? How?
This functionality is part of (recent version of the) SVG
specification [1] and, AFAIK, Batik implements it. ;-)
I'm not sure about the blinking caret thing, though...
Hope this helps,
Helder Magalhães
