Hi, Apart from the slashes are the wrong way around (try http://) and that your end quote is too early (try *somevaluehere*" ), it looks OK. One gotcha I had is that simply using the ampersand (&) to separate CGI parameters does not work since the Adobe SVG Viewer, in particular, implements a more strict (XMLish rather than HTML) parsing method than what you're probably used to. You must use the full enumeration of & . So, eg. <a xlink:href="http://x.y.z.co.uk/cgi-bin/match.cgi? xyref=*somevaluehere*&zref=*anothervaluehere*"> ... other SVG ... </A> ... should work. Let me know how it goes.
