I started looking at Firefox with native SVG enabled. The following file shows a few ways to modify a text element character data. You click on the text item and it is modified. Simple. They don't all work in Firefox/SVG.
The programmer in me says just code it the way that works, but I am wondering: 1) What is the recommended way to code it that is least apt to break in the future? 2) In the cases that don't work, what is broken, Firefox/SVG or my code? -------------------- <?xml version='1.0'?> <svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width="500" height="400" onload="init(evt)"> <defs> <script> <![CDATA[ var svgDoc; function init(evt) { svgDoc = evt.target.ownerDocument; } function onClick(evt) { var element = evt.target; var id = element.getAttribute('id'); switch (id){ case 'text1': // works in Squiggle and ASVG element.getFirstChild().setData("hello"); break; case 'text2': // works in Squiggle and ASVG element.getFirstChild().data = "hello"; break; case 'text3': // works in Squiggle and ASVG element.firstChild.setData("hello"); break; case 'text4': // works in Squiggle, Firefox/SVG and ASVG element.firstChild.data = "hello"; break; case 'text5': // works in Squiggle, Firefox/SVG and ASVG element.firstChild.nodeValue = "hello"; break; } } ]]> </script> </defs> <g onclick="onClick(evt)" fill="green" font-size="18"> <text id="text1" x="20" y="100" >element.getFirstChild().setData ("hello")</text> <text id="text2" x="20" y="150" >element.getFirstChild().data = "hello"</text> <text id="text3" x="20" y="200">element.firstChild.setData("hello") </text> <text id="text4" x="20" y="250">element.firstChild.data = "hello"</text> <text id="text5" x="20" y="300">element.firstChild.nodeValue = "hello"</text> </g> </svg> ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
