Hi, To be more exact you would have to append the file with getURL(ref,svg)...parseXML and apppendChild()... then just use #simpleStar.

Dear All, We are trying to make link to external SVG files located at the local machine from another SVG and the Adobe SVG viewer 3.02 (IE 6) fails to run it. For instance, their the `source.svg' file which has a link to `ref.svg' . Both of them in the same directory(example is taken from http://www.svgopen.org/2003/papers/TheNextGenerationOfSVGFiles/) `source.svg' <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd";> <svg width="100px" height="100px" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";> <use x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" xlink:href="ref.svg#simpleStar" fill="darkgray" stroke="lightgray" stroke-width="10"/> </svg> 'ref.svg' <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd";> <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";> <defs> <symbol id="simpleStar" viewBox="0 0 250 250"> <polygon points="124,5 153,91 243,91 171,145 197,231 124,180 51,231 77,145 5,91 95,91" /> </symbol> </defs> No star is showing up!!!!!!!. It looks like it doesn't recognize the URI for the local files like: link:href="ref.svg#simpleStar" We tried to use file:/// and other variants, no success. Any suggestions?
