hello,
I want to unlink a use element from the symbol it refers. I use the piece of
code below to implement the behavior described in
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#UseElement, section *If the
'use'element references a
'symbol' element*
Now, I set a mouse move event handler on the <g> element, I modify the
"transform" element but nothing hapends. I save the modified document (ie:
does not contain the use element anymore) and reopen it (new canvas) and it
works now.
can someone tell me what's wrong below? By the way, perhaps the unlink from
symbol facility exists in batik?
thank's
