Right, my hypothesis is:
- since FF3 doesn't handle svg's animation (or SMIL if you will) elements they
become unknown XML elements in the DOM
- as a consequence the 'id' attribute isn't on an svg element that FF3 knows,
and therefore is not thought to be of type ID = it's handled as any other
Hi developers
I currently try to detect an animation element in a SVG file with
document.getElementById(). Unfortunately, Firefox 3.0.3 returns always
null. In Opera 9.62 and IE7+ASV3.03 this example works well (I am
working on Windows XP SP3). Has somebody an idea how this can be? I
thought
Olaf, could it be that this is due to missing animation support in FF3.
It seems that unknown elements are discarded and thus not part of the
DOM tree ...

The elements are part of the DOM tree, since it's XML, but the 'id' attribute
is not of type ID for arbitrary XML. You could use 'xml:id' in such cases, but
I'm not sure FF supports that. The other option is to push for FF to recognize
the elements as SVG elements.

Hi Klaus and Erik
thanks for your answers. Am I understand you right: Because Firefox
doesn't support SMIL, the animate element is a foreign element for him?
