Since Mozilla sticks to the W3C standards the way to access the function defined in your SVG document from scripts defined in your HTML document is to use contentDocument
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/html.html#ID-9893177 on the HTMLObjectElement object followed by defaultView http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Views/views.html#Views-DocumentView to access the global object (window) for the SVGDocument object like this: svgObject.contentDocument.defaultView.setData(rs,date_start,date_end) But then everyone knew that, didn't they? -Jonathan On Tue, 25 Jan 2005 20:33:13 -0000, tomilay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I have an SVG document with the outline below. > > <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; width="690px" height="480px" > viewBox="-50 -20 710 520" onload="initSVG(evt)">...</svg>. > > When it loads it runs the initSVG(evt) function in the SVG document > namespace which initializes a global variable in the same namespace to > point to the SVG document object with this line > > "svgDoc=evt.target.parentNode;". > > I am using the <OBJECT> tag to embed it in a HTML document as shown > below. > <object id="svgObj" type="image/svg+xml" height=520 width="100%" > data="../xml/new_graph.svg"> > </object> > > I happen have the following function in the SVG document which should > be invoked from the HTML document and shortly after the initSVG() > function. > > function setData(arData,dt_start,dt_end) > { > // This initializes the global array rs > rs=arData; > date_start=dt_start; > date_end=dt_end; > > spacing=Math.round(1/((date_end-date_start+MILLISEC)/MILLISEC)*sizeX); > } > > Execution of this function from HTML is dependent on access to the SVG > document DOM from the HTML document.
