That definitely helps me to an extent. I understand now that if I
have javascript in an SVG file itself, to reference the SVG object I
can do the following...
var svgobj = document
The problem is, I'm still struggling to find out how to access the
svg object if I have the svg embedded and I want to manipulate the
SVG via javascript in the HTML document.
What's the comparable command if the embed is named FP? I thought it
was the following, but when I use this, I get "unspecified error"...
var svgobj = document.embeds("FP").getSVGDocument()
Thanks again for your help, but can you clear this up for me?!?
